Hello Ansh,
Montane forests are the diverse ecosystems found at higher elevations in mountains, characterized by cooler temperatures, high humidity and distinct vegetation zones that change with altitude, transitioning from broadleaf trees at lower levels to conifers and eventually tundra/ alpine zone as elevation increases.

Montane forests are forests found in mountain regions at higher altitudes, usually above 1,000 metres. These forests develop in cooler climates with high rainfall. The vegetation changes with increase in height at lower levels, trees like oak, chestnut and pine are common, while at higher altitudes conifers such as fir, spruce and cedar dominate. In very high regions, these forests gradually give way to alpine grasslands. Montane forests are important for biodiversity conservation, soil protection, and regulation of climate and water resources.
