Information
has glosseng: Culturally Modified Trees (aka CMTs) is a term which describes the modification of trees by indigenous people as part of their tradition. Their meaning for the indigenous cultures is relatively well known, but only from the beginning of the 1980s scientists have recognized that they are also important sources for the history of certain regions. Meanwhile they are even called CMT archives. Although a wide range of results has been produced, and progress has been made as far as methodology is concerned, the CMTs are still rather unknown to the public. Many old trees wearing blue belts with the words "culturally modified tree" in Stanley Park/Vancouver attracted considerable interest - and questions.

Italian
has glossita: Culturally Modified Trees (da cui lacronimo CMT) è unespressione in lingua inglese che in italiano letteralmente traducibile con "alberi culturalmente modificati". Il termine sta, infatti, ad indicare le modifiche apportate alla vegetazione arborea da popolazioni indigene secondo la tradizione locale. Tali alberi hanno presso le culture indigene un significato piuttosto conosciuto, sebbene solo agli inizi degli anni ottanta gli scienziati hanno colto che i CMT potevano essere una preziosa risorsa per lo studio di alcune religioni; da qui per la prima volta il soprannome CMT archives (archivi CMT). Sebbene grandi risultati siano stati realizzati e la metodologia di analisi abbia visto un rilevante progresso, i CMT sono pressoché sconosciuti. Nellultimo periodo le targhette identificative riportanti lespressione "Culturally Modified Trees" affisse allo Stanley Park di Vancouver abbiano destato le attenzioni dei turisti.
