Forest migration northward. Though "Fagus" and "Picea" populations did not expand directionally, they have grown in the Scandinavian range. The movement of "Picea" species in the past 1000 years has shown a strong connection to climate change through a model comparison. In the more recent past, there has been documentation of elevation shifts in distribution of many core forest tree species of Catalonia. The populations of two tree species (European Beech, "Fagus sylvatica"; and Holm Oak, "Quercus ilex") were evaluated in their dynamics over elevations through time. Generally, Holm Oak reside lower on mountain slopes than does European Beech. In the past
Fagus Factory Fagus Factory The Fagus Factory (German: "Fagus Fabrik" or "Fagus Werk"), a shoe last factory in Alfeld on the Leine, Lower Saxony, Germany, is an important example of early modern architecture. Commissioned by owner Carl Benscheidt who wanted a radical structure to express the company's break from the past, the factory was designed by Walter Gropius and Adolf Meyer. It was constructed between 1911 and 1913, with additions and interiors completed in 1925. The building that had the greater influence on the design of Fagus was AEG’s Turbine factory designed by Peter Behrens. Gropius and Meyer had both worked on
