Sub alpine Forest Annual rainfall: 35 to 50 inches
Above 8000 feet, local mountain forests change to include more durable,
cold-hardy, slow growing species, such as Limber and Lodge pole pines.
Trees are more scattered than in the Yellow Pine Forest, allowing for
more growth of colorful, low growing shrubs and wildflowers. |
