Question

characteristics of mountain forest​

Answer 1

Answer:

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.

characteristics of mountain forest -

• They're found on all continents with the exception of the Antarctic.
• They grow beyond an altitude of 500 meters.
• That location means mountain forests consist of trees that aren't found in lower-lying areas.
• The trees have adapted to the cool climate, heavy downpours and intense sunshine.
• In low-lying areas, they're squeezed out by different tree species.
