What is the treeline in the Alps?

The treeline in the Alps refers to the altitude above which trees can no longer grow due to environmental factors such as temperature, wind, and soil conditions. Generally, this line varies between 1,800 and 2,500 meters (5,900 to 8,200 feet) depending on the specific location, local climate, and exposure. Above the treeline, vegetation transitions to alpine meadows and rocky terrain, where conditions are too harsh for forest growth. The treeline is an important ecological boundary that influences biodiversity and habitat distribution in mountainous regions.
