Where Do Alpine Trees Grow

Alpine plants occur in a tundra: a type of natural region or biome that does not contain trees. Alpine tundra occurs in mountains worldwide. It transitions to subalpine forests below the tree line; stunted forests occurring at the forest-tundra ecotone are known as Krummholz.

Where is Alpine forest located?

The Alpine forests occur all along the Himalayas at altitudes ranging between 2,900 to 3,500 m or even up-to 3800 m above sea level, depending upon the location and the variety of species. These forests can be divided into: (1) sub-alpine; (2) moist alpine scrub and (3) dry alpine scrub.

The Alps are covered with endless forests of trees that tower over the valleys and mountains – creating the iconic landscape of the Alpine mountain range.
