Characterictic of a number of biomes may be seen in Mountain biome: a term not commonly used in ecology. That is because ecosystems on mountains differ with altitude and sometimes due to variation in rainfall.

undefined Mountain biomes are ecosystems found in elevated regions. Altitudes vary, but they generally range from 2,000 to 14,000 feet. Temperatures decrease with altitude, averaging around 3.5°F per 1,000 feet. Animals in mountain biomes form diverse food webs. At lower altitudes, you find herbivores like deer and predators like foxes. At higher altitudes, smaller herbivores like pikas and predators like snow leopards are adapted to the harsh conditions. Plant life ranges from trees in lower altitudes to hardy alpine plants in higher elevations.
