What are mountain forests?

Mountain forests can be defined as forests on land with an elevation of 2 500 m above sea level or higher, irrespective of slope, or on land

with an elevation of 300–2 500 m and a slope with sharp changes in elevation within a short distance.

Mountain forests cover about 900 million hectares of the world’s land surface, constituting 20 percent of the world’s forest cover. They are

hotspots of biodiversity and provide important environmental services far beyond the mountains themselves. Mountain forests exist on

every continent (except Antarctica) and in every climatic zone. Mountain forests cover large proportions of (for example) the Alps, Pyrenees

and Balkan and Carpathian mountain ranges in Europe, the Appalachian and Rocky mountain ranges in North America, the Australian Alps,

the Guiana Highlands in South America, the mountains in Central Africa, and the Andes Mountain Range in South and Central America.
