The alpine zone is a high-altitude region found on mountains, typically above the tree line. This area is characterized by harsh weather conditions, including strong winds, low temperatures, and a short growing season. Vegetation in the alpine zone consists mainly of hardy plants like grasses, mosses, and small shrubs that can withstand these extreme conditions. In the alpine zone, the landscape is often rocky and rugged, with limited soil development. Wildlife is also adapted to this environment, including species such as mountain goats and snow leopards. The alpine zone plays a crucial role in the ecosystem, providing unique habitats and contributing to biodiversity.
