Mountain forests
Mountain forests, also known as alpine forests, are ecosystems located in mountain regions around the world. They have their unique characteristics and diversity of flora and fauna.
The biome of mountain forests typically resides at altitudes from 1,000 to 3,500 meters above sea level, but depending on geographic location, climate, and geology, it may vary.
The climate in mountain forests is characterized by cool summers and cold winters. The forests receive a substantial amount of precipitation, both in the form of snow and rain. Weather conditions in mountain forests can be extremely unpredictable and rapidly changing.
These types of forests could be found on the slopes of any ancient mountains. During the Cretaceous period, they might have occupied vast areas on the young Cordilleras, Andes, mountains of Southeast Asia, and other places.
The flora of mountain forests has a high degree of diversity. Trees growing here are adapted to low temperatures, steep slopes, and inf...
