Forest Biologist Janice Cooke has studied the invasion of Mountain Pine beetles for decades.

森林生物学家Janice Cooke数十年来一直在研究山松甲虫的入侵。

There are new rules related to birds, frogs and reptiles and rare trees, including the dwarf mountain pine.

新规涉及鸟类、青蛙、爬行动物和包括矮山松在内的稀有树木。

When ripe they are from three to four inches long, yellowish brown, resembling in every way those of the Mountain Pine.

成熟时，它们长三到四英寸， 呈黄褐色，在各方面都与山松相似。

Like, thanks to milder winters, the mountain pine beetle has been expanding its range and killing vast swaths of trees in western North America.

就像， 由于冬季较温和，山松甲虫一直在扩大其范围并杀死北美西部的大片树木。

The Hemlock Spruce, however, and the Mountain Pine, and some of the tallest thickets of the Two-leaved species bow in storms with considerable scope and gracefulness.

然而，铁杉云杉、山松和一些最高的双叶树种灌木丛在暴风雨中以相当大的范围和优雅低头。

The Mountain Pine grows beside it, and more frequently the two-leaved species; but there are many beautiful groups, numbering 1000 individuals, or more, without a single intruder.

山松生长在它旁边，更常见的是双叶树种；但是有许多美丽的群体，有 1000 只或更多，没有一个入侵者。

Yet, strange to say, amid all this arctic repression the mountain pine on ledges and buttresses of Red Mountain seems to find the climate best suited to it.

然而，奇怪的是，在所有这些北极压制中，红山壁架和山壁上的山松似乎找到了最适合它的气候。

The trunk becomes deep brown and rough, like that of the Mountain Pine, while the young cones are of a strange, dull, blackish-blue color, clustered on the upper branches.

树干变得深棕色， 粗糙，就像山松的树干一样， 而幼球果呈奇异、暗淡的黑蓝色， 簇生在上部的树枝上。

The Mountain Pine is king of the alpine woods, brave, hardy, and long-lived, towering grandly above its companions, and becoming stronger and more imposing just where other species begin to crouch and disappear.

山松是高山森林之王，勇敢、耐寒、长寿，高耸于同类之上，在其他物种开始蜷缩和消失的地方变得更加强大和壮观。

The Mountain Pine is first met on the upper margin of the fir zone, growing singly in a subdued, inconspicuous form, in what appear as chance situations, without making much impression on the general forest.

山松首先出现在冷杉带的上缘，以一种低调的、不显眼的形式单独生长，看起来像是偶然的情况，对一般的森林没有太大的影响。

The other alpine conifers-the Needle Pine, Mountain Pine, Two-leaved Pine, and Hemlock Spruce-are never thinned out by this agent to any destructive extent, on account of their admirable toughness and the closeness of their growth.

其他高山针叶树——针叶松、山松、双叶松和铁杉——由于它们令人钦佩的韧性和生长的紧密性， 从未被这种药剂稀释到任何破坏性的程度。

The Mountain Pine (Pinus monticola) is the noblest tree of the alpine zone — hardy and long-lived towering grandly above its companions and becoming stronger and more imposing just where other species begin to crouch and disappear.

山松 (Pinus monticola) 是高山地区最高贵的树——耐寒且寿命长，高耸于其同伴之上，并且在其他物种开始蜷缩和消失的地方变得更加强大和壮观。
