** Abies nordmanniana — Nordmann Fir or Caucasian Fir

The Colchian rain forests are mixed, with deciduous Black Alder ( Alnus glutinosa ), hornbeam ( Carpinus betulus and C. orientalis ), Oriental Beech ( Fagus orientalis ), and Sweet Chestnut ( Castanea sativa ) together with evergreen Nordmann Fir ( Abies nordmanniana, the tallest tree in Europe at 78m ), Caucasian Spruce ( Picea orientalis ) and Scots Pine ( Pinus sylvestris ).

Abies nordmanniana, the Nordmann Fir, is a fir native to the mountains west and east of the Black Sea, in Turkey, Georgia, Russian Caucasus and northern parts of Armenia.

Current distribution of the Nordmann Fir is associated with the forest refugia that existed during the Ice Age at the eastern and southern Black Sea coast.

Nordmann Fir as a Christmas tree

Nordmann Fir is one of the most important species grown for Christmas trees, being favoured for its attractive foliage, with needles that are not sharp, and do not drop readily when the tree dries out.

It is closely related to ( and in many respects intermediate between ) Silver Fir to the north in central Europe, Greek Fir to the south in southern Greece, and Nordmann Fir to the east in northern Turkey.

Silver Fir is the species first used as a Christmas tree, but has been largely replaced by Nordmann Fir ( which has denser, more attractive foliage ), Norway Spruce ( which is much cheaper to grow ), and other species.

It is also closely related to Nordmann Fir to the east in northern Turkey.

The Western Caucasus also contains the Caucasian State Nature Biosphere Reserve ( Russian Кавказский государственный природный биосферный заповедник ), nature reserve ( IUCN management category Ia ) set up by the Soviet government in Krasnodar Krai, Adygea and Karachay – Cherkessia in 1924 to preserve some 85 m-high specimens of the Nordmann Fir ( Abies nordmanniana ), thought to be the tallest trees in Europe, and a unique forest formed by English Yew ( Taxus baccata ) and European Box ( Buxus sempervirens ) within the city of Sochi.

Caricatures of Ola Nordmann are quite common.

The modern and popular connection between the draugr and the sea can be traced back to the author Jonas Lie and the story-teller Regine Nordmann, as well as the drawings of Theodor Kittelsen, who spent some years living in Svolvær.

The brave Nordmann was to be discovered moments later by the French in a ditch, where he was abandoned during the hasty retreat of his men, who sought refuge behind Riese's brigade, where they reformed.

For example: A headline in a newspaper that reads Norwegians consume less milk could be just as well read Ola Nordmann drinks less milk.

This unusually high casualty rate resulted from Nordmann having been positioned in a perilous location and having been maintained there for too long, with little purpose.

Ola Nordmann is a name for the typical Norwegian person, a personification of the whole population in general.

Ola is a common male first name in Norway ( derived from Olav / Olaf ), and Nordmann is a demonym for a Norwegian, i. e. " Ola Norwegian ".

Nordmann's men were faced with massive artillery barrage coming from French batteries on Lobau island and, with increasing numbers of enemy battalions coming up, Nordmann had no option but to turn north, leaving behind detachments at Sachsengang castle and Gross-Enzersdorf.

At this point, Feldmarshalleutnant Nordmann intervened in person to reestablish the situation and was mortally wounded while doing so, with the Austrian counterattack in this sector failing completely.

A well known folk rock band called Plumbo has made an impact the last few years with songs like " Mökkamann " and especially " Ola Nordmann ", which was their song of choice when they participated in Melody Grand Prix 2012.

Within a week after the injury, suffered in St. Louis's victory in the final game of the Kentucky tournament, Nordmann was sitting on the Bill's bench doing what he could to help Benington.

The first serious Austrian attempt to slow down the French onslaught came towards 15: 00, when Liechtenstein and Nordmann tried to organise a joint operation, but they gave up quite early on, realising that they were opposed by a very powerful force of several infantry divisions and three cavalry divisions from Maréchal Davout's III French Corps.

Immediate resistance to the French advance was restricted to the outpost divisions of Nordmann and Johann von Klenau ; the main Habsburg army was stationed five miles ( 8 km ) away, centred on the village of Wagram.

Alexander von Nordmann was born in Ruotensalmi ( now Kotka ) on 24 May 1803.

Soon after his marriage to Camilla née Nordmann from Vienna, Neumann went to Halle and in 1891 finished his thesis on a Pali text.

In addition, a special award was given to Bob ( Bevo ) Nordmann, the 6-foot-10 center who missed much of the season because of a knee injury.

Other lettermen from the team that compiled a 21-9 record and finished as runner-up in the National Invitation Tournament were: Art Hambric, Donnell Reid, Bill Nordmann, Dave Harris, Dave Luechtefeld and George Latinovich.

Thus, Charles did nothing to support his two forward units and watched as Nordmann gradually withdrew north, towards the Russbach line and Klenau withdrew northwest, towards Breintlee.

As the French were successfully moving forward, the Austrian Advance Guard, under Feldmareschalleutnant Nordmann, supported by Feldmareschalleutnant Klenau's VI Korps, in all 25, 000 infantrymen, were gradually withdrawing northwards.

Additionally, towards 13: 00, Nordmann became extremely concerned that the numerous French cavalry, might end up cutting him off from the rest of the army.

Additionally, Nordmann had benefitted from little protection from the cavalry present in that sector.

After a well-led and determined staged retreat, Nordmann managed to extricate his battered troop, reaching the relative safety of the town of Markgrafneusied.

In addition, attached to his force was the much-battered Advance Guard, under Feldmarschalleutnant Nordmann, reduced to around 6, 000 infantrymen and some cavalry support, as well as the 3, 120 cavalrymen from Feldmarschalleutnant Nostitz's division.

Four Austrian generals were killed or mortally wounded during the fighting, Armand von Nordmann, Josef Philipp Vukassovich, Peter Vecsey, and Konstantin Ghilian Karl d ' Aspré.

Klenau was himself replaced at the helm of the Advance Guard by Felmarshalleutnant Armand von Nordmann.
