1. subalpine

   Montane ecosystems are found on the slopes of mountains. The alpine climate in these regions strongly affects the ecosystem because temperatures fall as elevation increases, causing the ecosystem to stratify. This stratification is a crucial factor in shaping plant community, biodiversity, metabolic processes and ecosystem dynamics for montane ecosystems. Dense montane forests are common at moderate elevations, due to moderate temperatures and high rainfall. At higher elevations, the climate is harsher, with lower temperatures and higher winds, preventing the growth of trees and causing the plant community to transition to montane grasslands, shrublands or alpine tundra. Due to the unique climate conditions of montane ecosystems, they contain increased numbers of endemic species. Montane ecosystems also exhibit variation in ecosystem services, which include carbon storage and water supply.

1. subalpine

   Subalpine refers to the biogeographic zone located below the tree line and above the montane forest ecosystems on mountains. This plant and animal habitat is characterized by low temperatures, poor soil, and limited moisture. The exact altitude of the subalpine zone can vary significantly from one region to another based on many factors, such as the local climate and the latitude. It can be a transitional zone to the alpine ecosystem in colder climates.
