Features of the plants that grow on mountains
>The vegetation on the lower slopes largely depends on which climate zone the mountain is in. The foothills may be covered in broadleaved forests. These change to coniferous trees like spruce and pines higher altitudes
>As you climb higher up a mountain it gets colder and the trees eventually thin out and disappear. When it gets too cold for trees to grow, it is called a timberline.

Note: As we go up in the mountainous regions the surroundings change and we see different kinds of adaptations at different heights. The growth of vegetation depends on rainfall and temperature.
