Alpine Ecosystem
The Alpine Ecosystem is a unique environment found in high mountain regions, characterized by cold temperatures, strong winds, and limited vegetation. It typically exists above the tree line, where conditions are too harsh for most trees to grow. The ecosystem is home to specialized plants, such as alpine flowers and mosses, which have adapted to survive in rocky, nutrient-poor soils.
Animals in the Alpine Ecosystem include species like mountain goats, pikas, and various birds that have adapted to the extreme conditions. These animals often have thick fur or feathers to keep warm and are skilled at navigating steep terrains. The ecosystem plays a crucial role in biodiversity and helps regulate water flow in surrounding areas.
