[edit] Conservation status

I have doubt about the conservation status of the Lebanon Cedar. Could someone verify it? 500LL 08:51, May 29, 2005 (UTC)

Verified. Local populations in the Lebanon are vulnerable, but the species as a whole is secure (extensive forests in the Taurus Mts of Turkey) - MPF 23:04, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cedrus atlantica?

Is this now a subspecies? Anyone know why? Just curious. --SB_Johnny|^talk|_books 22:30, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[1] lists it as a distinct species. The books on my shelf say it is a distinct species. Is there any other authority being used to denote it to be a subspecies of libani? Imc 17:54, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Found at least one refence, Vidakovic, who considers it a subspecies. In any case, it seems to be distinct enough in common use to merit its own article, so I've created Atlas Cedar. Imc 18:20, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
