Summary
The alpine zone is located above the tree line in mountainous regions and is characterized by long winters and short growing seasons. Birds and other animals inhabiting these environments breed during a limited period extending from spring to summer. Arthropods, including insects and spiders, serve as an essential food resource during this time.
