Following are the features of Montane forests :
{1} Due to decreasing temperature and increasing heights, they have different types of vegetation. Broad-leafy trees e.g., oaks and chestnut are found at a height of 3,000 m. Wet temperate forests at 1,000-2,000 m and coniferous trees like deodar, silver fir etc. are found between 1,500-3,000 m.
{2} These forests cover mostly the southern slopes of the Himalayas, places having high altitude in southern and north-east India.
{3} At higher altitudes, alpine grasslands are found where the nomadic tribes graze their cattle.
{4} At more higher altitudes, mosses and lichens form part of tundra vegetation.
{5} These forests have Kashmir stag, spotted deer, yak, snow leopard, red panda, etc.
