Because, elevation affects both temperature and precipitation, the type of biome found at a higher elevation can be different from one at a lower elevation.

For Example: Temperate forest, Boreal forest, Tundra, and Permanent ice.

(forest by mountain, higher up the mountain, go higher and you reach at tundra, top of mountain is cold and precipitation is very different, so it's permanent ice)

Hope this answers your question :)
