Detailed explanation-1: -The Alpine Tundra Ecosystem starts between elevations of 11, 000 to 11, 500 feet, depending on exposure. This is truly a land of extremes. Strong, frequent winds and cold temperatures help limit what plants can grow there.
Detailed explanation-2: -Alpine environments are defined as being cold, windy, and snowy, and characterized by low growing season temperatures and a very short frost-free period.
Detailed explanation-3: -WEATHER: In the summer average temperatures range from 40 to 60°F (4.5 to 15.5°C). In the winter the temperatures are well below freezing. Generally, as the altitude increases, the temperature gets colder. Temperatures in the alpine biome are dynamic and can also change from warm to freezing in one day.
