Basically two things affect an organism's survival in an area: temperature and moisture. Tree lines form because the temperature and moisture that trees like extend only so far. Once that constant amount of moisture starts to change or the constant level of temperature differs trees can't survive. Thus trees can only live where the temperature and moisture are good for the trees, once those two... uhh... things start to change, trees stop growing and a tree line forms.
