Forest Altitudinal Zones and their Change with Climate Change
Plants and trees – and by extension forests – grow where their physiological properties allow and where they will not be ousted by competition. For this reason, plants of a certain species tend to grow in places with similar temperatures, availability of water or soil conditions, for example, and where these are hospitable for the plant in question. Many species only occur within certain altitude
