One of the typical life zones on mountains is the montane forest: at moderate elevations, the rainfall and temperate climate encourages dense forests to grow.
In Peninsular Malaysia, lower montane forest is most developed and distinct on the main granitic mountain ranges, such as the Titiwangsa, Bintang, and East Coast mountain ranges. Lower montane forest can be classified into two kinds, the oak-laurel type, and the upper (hill) dipterocarp type. The upper hill dipterocarp/lower montane forest type is basically an extension of the hill dipterocarp forest, but with the absence of the common hill dipterocarp, Shorea curtisii.
