Answer 2

Low Growth

Trees begin to thin as you travel higher in the mountain biome. Tree cannot grow at higher elevations due to harsh winds and extreme climates. The area at which trees cease to grow in the mountain range is known as the timberline. Plants that can survive above 3,000 feet include sparse grasses and alpine perennials, which have adapted to extreme cold and heat, strong sun, heavy winds and fluctuations between arid and damp condition. These plants grow very low to the ground, allowing them to stay below the snow pack in winter months so they are not pelted with ice and snow.


Saving Energy

Animals in the mountains have also adapted to save energy during the harsh winter months. Some animals, such as the alpine marmot, hibernate nine months of the year to save energy and avoid harsh winter conditions. Other animals reduce their activity level, saving their energy only to look for food. Mountain goats have adapted to eat almost any plant substance the mountain range provides. This keeps them from having to travel long distances in search of food and, therefore, saves them energy.
