Altitudinal zonation in mountainous regions describes the natural layering of ecosystems that occurs at distinct altitudes due to varying environmental conditions. Temperaturehumiditysoil composition, and solar radiation are important factors in determining altitudinal zones, which consequently support different vegetation and animal species.[1][2]Altitudinal zonation was first hypothesized by geographer Alexander von Humboldt who noticed that temperature drops with increasing elevation.[3] Zonation also occurs in intertidaland marine environments, as well as on shorelines and in wetlands. Scientist C. Hart Merriam observed that changes in vegetation and animals in altitudinal zones map onto changes expected with increased latitude in his concept of life zones. Today, altitudinal zonation represents a core concept in mountain researc

Describe the altitude zone of vegetation in the mountainous regions

Explanation:

  • The altitude or the elevation of one of the mountainous vegetation the earth is decoded as the natural layering of the ecosystem occurs over the distant elevation due to the variations in environmental conditions and the zonation occurs over the intertidal and the marine environmental and as well in the shorelines and the wetlands.  
  • Have varying environmental factors that like the temperature and soil composition and solar radiation and it supports the forest vegetation and the animal species and other factors like the temperate and the humidity and soil composition affect the elevation as the naval and alpine and the and the lowlands layer.
