In the West, the subalpine zone is dominated by mountain hemlock.

It is found in grasslands and forest margins up to the subalpine zone.

The subalpine zone is the zone of plants just below tree line around the world.

There are several stone rivers in the Subalpine zone, partly penetrating the forest too.

Sierra Nevada subalpine zone - habitat and forest surrounding peak.

Montane grassland and shrubs may be found in the subalpine zone.

The harsh conditions present in the subalpine zone are sufficient to keep competitive interactions at a minimal level.

The subalpine zone is richest in species, followed by the alpine and upper temperate zones.

Winds can be high throughout the year and are a major factor limiting plant growth near the upper limit of the subalpine zone (tree line).

Trees in the subalpine zone often become crooked, stunted and twisted in form.

Herb and shrub-dominated communities also occur, but comprise a small proportion of the total land area within the subalpine zone.

Mountain hemlock may be the most common tree species in the subalpine zone, especially in the central and northern Sierra.

There is a mutualistic interaction between Clark's nutcracker and two pines of the subalpine zone.

At middle elevations, the subalpine zone appears.

Under decade-old "rural and remote" zoning criteria, homes in the subalpine zone must be smaller than 1,000 square feet.

Montane forests occur between the submontane zone and the subalpine zone.

The marginal conditions make the Sierra Nevada subalpine zone sensitive to environmental changes, such as climate change and pollution.

Diversity of herbs in the subalpine zone is usually less than lower-elevation zones such as upper and lower montane.

If this prediction becomes a reality, it would likely mean the loss of a significant proportion of the subalpine zone that exists today.

Sometimes it occurs in subalpine zones.

In the East and other drier areas, the subalpine zone is dominated by subalpine fir.

Its preferred habitats are meadows and clearings in the mountain forests, from foothills to subalpine zones.

Forests of fir trees and spruce trees grow in the subalpine zone as the temperature slowly goes up.

Yellow Wattlebirds live in a variety of habitats including both dry and wet forests and from sea level to the subalpine zone.

Its name "upland moa" reflects the fact its bones are commonly found in the subalpine zone.
