Small limbs, ears and tails to prevent heat loss More red blood cells to help carry oxygen around the body in high altitudes. Alpine Biome Interactions biotic: Animals have to deal with cold temperatures and high amounts of UV radiation. The pine cones provide a year round food source for many of the animals. Geography location: parts of North America, South America, central Asia, southern Africa and Europe description: Mountainous with many different elevations. Plants and trees only on the lower elevations. abiotic: Different altitudes support different plant and animal species. Precipitation is mainly in the form of snow. soil type: well drained, rocky Climate precipitation amount per year: 12 inches (30 cm) temperature range: -10 to 50◦F (-23 to 10◦C) climate: dry, cold, snowy and windy
