Detailed explanation-1: -Alpine vegetation is found between the altitude of 3000 to 4000 meters. These are less dense forests and the height of the trees decreases towards the Snowline. At higher altitudes alpine pastures are found. Silver fur, Juniper, Birch and Pine are the main species of these forests.

Detailed explanation-2: -Alpine forests can be found across the Himalayas, at elevations ranging from 2, 900 to 3, 500 m or indeed up to 3800 m above sea level, based on location and plant variety.

Detailed explanation-3: -At higher altitudes type of vegetation found is temperate grasslands which are generally at a height more than 3600 metres above sea level. This support alpine vegetation.

Detailed explanation-4: -At altitude over 3600 meters, Alpine vegetation is found with trees like silver fir, jumpers etc. Some trees found in this region are Chir, Fir, Deodar, Maple, and Pine. In India, Himalayan portions of Jammu and Kashmir, Assam, Meghalaya etc. have this vegetation kind.

Detailed explanation-5: -In India Alpine forests occur along the Himalayas at altitudes ranging from 2, 900 to 3, 500 m above sea level and up to 3800 m, depending on the location and species type.
