What types of plants are in mountain biomes?

Answer 1

Just about anything can grow at the base of a mountain, as long as the soil, sunlight, drainage, and other conditions are right for that plant. However, the altitude will stop some plants from growing farther up. Areas of a mountain above the tree line will have very few to no trees, and the trees that do grow will bew sparse and short. Various brittle grasses and some wildflowers may grow there, and only coniferous trees will grow up to the tree line.

Answer 2

Mountain biomes typically consist of plants adapted to the high altitude and harsh conditions, such as alpine shrubs, grasses, mosses, and lichens. Trees are less common at higher elevations due to the lower temperatures and shallower soils. Plant species in mountain biomes are often hardy and able to withstand extreme weather conditions.

Answer 3

Some examples of mountain plants are the Rocky Mountain Juniper, the Quaking Aspen, and the dotted blazing star.

Mountain plants have adapted root systems that are naturally drought tolerant and able to survive in shallower, less uniform soil and sometimes nutrient deficient soils.

Answer 4

Like other mountains, there are different climates at different elevations and parts of the mountain.

• Plants like evergreens and Ceylan ironwood grows between 600-2,400 ft.
• Bamboo, oak, chestnut, alder at around 3,600-5,700 ft.
• Around 4,000 species of flowering plants and 20 species of palm can be found on the Eastern side of the Himalayas
• Tropical deciduous forest with the dominant species being the sal. Wet sal forests located on plateaus of around 3,000 feet while dry sal forests at 4,500 feet
• Farther west, there are steppe forest (i.e., expanse of grassland dotted with trees), steppe, subtropical thorn steppe, and subtropical semi-desert vegetation.
• Temperate mixed forest are from about 4,500 to roughly 11,000 feet
• Alpine zone between 10,500 and 11,700 feet and extends up to about 13,700 feet in the western Himalayas and 14,600 feet in the eastern Himalayas. Juniper and Rhododendron can grow here. Mosses and lichens will grow in shaded areas at lower levels in the alpine zone where the humidity is high. Flowering plants are found at high elevations.

Answer 5

Answer is extremely variable and depends on locality of the mountain, climate, altitude, aspect, exposure to wind/ rain etc.

Answer 6

Sparse dead looking plants are most commen, such as sagebrush scrub oak and maple. you can also find many species of wildflowers. there are several herbs that grow in the rockies as well.

Answer 7
