pertaining to a mountainous region
describes the zone in mountainous regions where the influence of altitude (vertical relief) results in local climatic regimes that are sufficiently different from those in the adjacent lowlands as to cause a complex vertical climate-vegetation-soil zonation; includes vegetation at the base of a mountain when it is different from lowland vegetation.
A cool, moist ecological zone usually located near the timberline and usually dominated by evergreen trees.
living in mountain areas, mainly.
Pertaining to mountainous country.
Montane is a biogeographic term which refers to highland areas located below the tree-line. Montane regions generally have cooler temperatures and often have higher rainfall than the adjacent lowland regions, and are frequently home to distinct communities of plants and animals. Areas above the timberline are known as alpine regions.
