korkeusvyöhykkeisiin
Korkeusvyöhykkeisiin, often translated as altitudinal zonation or elevation zones, refers to the change in ecological communities and environmental conditions with increasing elevation. As one ascends a mountain, temperature, precipitation, sunlight intensity, and atmospheric pressure change, creating distinct habitats. These changes lead to a progressive succession of vegetation types and animal species, mirroring the changes seen when traveling from the equator towards the poles.
Typically, lower elevations might support forests or grasslands, which gradually give way to montane forests, then
The concept of korkeusvyöhykkeisiin is crucial for understanding biodiversity patterns and the impacts of climate change
