The photo that is posted is not of Mt Rogers. Mt Rogers has a gentle, forested summit, not a bare, rocky one. The photo looks like one of the rock outcroppings that are at least a mile from the summit. Could somebody substitute a photo that is less misleading? 128.173.49.45 (talk) 20:34, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

This article attributes the loss of the spruce fir forests on Mt Rogers to increasing temperature, and a drier environment. Possible so, but elsewhere (Great Smoky Mountains), the loss of the Frazier fir is attributed to the balsam woolly adelgid which killed 95% of the Frasier firs over the past decade. I would guess that this is the cause of the loss fir on Mt. Rogers as well. 23:57, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
