Hi
What are the characteristics of mountain vegetation?
A wide range of species is found in the mountains according to the variation in height. With increase in height, the temperature falls. At a height between 1500 metres and 2500 metres, most of the trees are conical in shape, which are called coniferous trees. Chir, pine and deodar are important coniferous trees found in these forests.
