The Alpine Zone is a high-altitude region found on mountains, typically above the tree line. In this area, the climate is harsh, with cold temperatures, strong winds, and short growing seasons. Vegetation is limited, consisting mainly of hardy plants like grasses, mosses, and low shrubs that can withstand these extreme conditions. This zone is characterized by unique ecosystems that support specialized wildlife, including species such as the Mountain Goat and Snowshoe Hare. The Alpine Zone plays a crucial role in biodiversity and is often a focus for conservation efforts due to its sensitivity to climate change and human activities.
