Question

why does mountain vegetation change with altitude ? explain with example​

Answer 1

Elevation plays a large role in the health and growth of plants. Elevation may affect the type and amount of sunlight that plantsreceive, the amount of water that plants can absorb and the nutrients that areavailable in the soil. ... Plants in higher elevations can typically withstand colder climates.

The natural vezetation in the mountains is influenced more by temperature than by precipitation In the mountainous areas, the temperature of the air decreases with increase in altitude, above the mean sea level. Thus, there are belts of natural vegetation different from what are found in the tropical and tundra regions.

• In the height range of 1000 to 2000 meters, the wet temperate types of forests are found. Evergreen broad-leaf trees, such oak and chestnut are common.

• In the height range of 1500 to 3000 meters, the temperate forests containing coniferous trees like pine, deodar, silver fir, spruce and cedar are found. Such forests are found on the southern slopes of the Himalayas and in the north east India.

• In the height range above 30000 meters, temperate grasslands replace forests as the warmth is not enough for the growth of trees.

• In the height range above 3000 meters, temperate forests and grasslands give way to alpine vezetation. The main trees are silver firs, pines and birches.

• These trees of alpine vegetation get stunted near the snow-line. They merge into alpine nashands, used for grazing.

• At further higher altitudes, mowes and lichens form part of the tundra vegetation.
