Answers
Answer:
type of plants live in the mountain region include grasses, shrubs, alpine flowers, mosses, and lichens.
Explanation:
Many of the trees and shrubs in mountain areas are evergreen. This means that the leaves or needles stay green year-round, unlike trees with leaves that turn colors and fall to the ground.
1)Coniferous plants are found in mountain areas with spine or needle shaped leaves. Eg: fir , pine, etc.
2)=>The leaves are modified into spines to reduce transpiration by reduction of surface area.
=>This arrangement along with the shape of the trees prevents accumulation of snow on the leaves.
=>At high mountainous regions, less rainfall and more snowfall may be noticed, less water availability throughout the years causes such modification.
