Answer 1

The correct answer is Montane forests.

Key Points

Montane Forest is an ecosystem found in mountains.it gets affected by colder climates at moderate elevations.
The Alpine vegetation includes trees like silver fir, junipers, pines, and birches.they get progressively stunted as they approach the snowline, and through shrubs and scrubs, they merge into the Alpine grasslands.
Between 1500 and 3000 meters, temperature forests contain coniferous trees like pine, deodar, and silver fir.
They primarily cover the Southern slopes of the Himalayas, as well as high-altitude areas in southern and northeastern India.

Additional Information

Montane forests can be found in high-altitude areas such as the Himalayas.
Trees are conical in shape in these areas.
These are dense forests at moderate elevation, because of moderate temperatures and high rainfall dense mountain forests are common at moderate elevation.
At higher elevations, the vegetation transformed into tundra or grasslands.
