How do biomes change with altitude?

Answer 1

It is dependent upon both the altitude above or below sea level and the climate.

Since the higher you go up, the less oxygen that is available. However, since plants breathe #CO_2#, this is not really an issue for them. The biome (plants, trees, animals), usually changes due to the temperature. The higher up you go, the less plants. This obviously means less wildlife. This is because plants cannot effectively create new cells after the temperature falls below 7°C. So that being said, plants and wildlife (biomes) CAN adapt in harsher climates, but nolu to a certain degree.

As altitude increases, temperature decreases, affecting vegetation and organisms. This leads to distinct vegetation zones, such as montane forests, subalpine, alpine, and eventually, barren areas at higher altitudes.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
