(ii) Between 1,500 and 3,000 m, temperate forests containing coniferous trees like pine, deodar, silver fir, spruce and cedar are found.
(iii) At high altitudes, generally more than 3,600 m above the sea-level, temperate forests and grasslands give way to the alpine vegetation. Silver fir, junipers, pines and birches are the common trees of these forests.
(iv) At higher altitudes, mosses and lichens form part of tundra vegetation. Thus, it can be concluded that in mountainous vegetation due to decrease in temperature.
