As elevation increases, atmospheric pressure decreases, leading to thinner air. This reduced air pressure can limit the growth of trees, as they require certain conditions for photosynthesis and nutrient uptake. Consequently, as you ascend in altitude, trees generally become shorter and less abundant, eventually giving way to shrubs and alpine vegetation. This phenomenon is often observed in mountainous regions where tree lines are established.
