Examples
-
Over the highest mountains, usually limited by a belt of low ‘krumholz’ of prostrate specimens of Nothofagus species, alpine vegetation is found above the forests.
-
Within this zone are subalpine wet meadows, talus slope herbaceous communities, krumholz woodlands, and a few small aspen groves.
-
A low-stature (8 m or less) krumholz form of Metrosideros collina is the dominant tree in this forest, but in higher and wetter places it may share dominance with, or be replaced by, Ascarina diffusa.
-
On some peaks, there are no krumholz, the trees just stop – below are normally sized trees, above, none.
