The tree line in the Andes varies with latitude and local climate conditions, typically ranging from about 3,000 meters (9,800 feet) in the northern regions to around 4,500 meters (14,800 feet) in the southern regions, such as Patagonia. This elevation marks the transition from forested areas to alpine tundra, where trees can no longer grow due to harsh environmental conditions. Factors such as temperature, moisture, and exposure to wind also influence the exact location of the tree line. As a result, the tree line can shift significantly in different parts of the Andes.
