Question

The vegetation found between the tree line and the snow line is called
A. Canyon effect
B. Savannah
C. Alpine meadow
D. Open deciduous forest

Answer 1

The vegetation found between the tree line and a snow line consists of low grasses. The treeline in the high zone of the Himalayas has been known to regularly move to higher rises nearer to the snowline because of the heat brought about by ozone-depleting substances.

Complete answer: The vegetation found between the tree line and a snow line is known as the alpine meadow. The western Himalayan elevated grasslands are montane fields in the ecoregion of Nepal, India and Tibet, which lies between the tree line and snow line in the western bit of the Himalaya range. The treeline in the high zone of the Himalayas that has been known to vacillate, regularly moving to higher rises nearer to the snowline because of warming brought about by ozone-depleting substances. The elevated life zones are the zones lying between the treeline and the snowline and its biological system is known to be exceptionally endemic and sensible to temperature change, making it an ideal setting to consider atmosphere sway. Commonly, the snow-capped treeline is the highest rise where individual trees as tall as two-meter can be found, and it is a progress zone from predominant trees to grasslands.
So, the correct answer is option C.

Note: Ecology at the organismic level is also called physiological ecology because it explains how different organisms are adapted to their environment for survival and reproduction. The climate of a particular region is affected by two factors i.e. temperature, precipitation (rainfall and snowfall). Annual variations in the intensity and duration of temperature (seasons) and annual variations in precipitation are responsible for the formation of major biomes like the desert, rain forest, deciduous forest and tundra.
