I moved it over from Alpine climate, because it really isn't about climate. Looking around wikipedia, I wonder if we should now copy it over to Mountain#In society, which is even a broader topic (with more readers). This article is about the ecology of alpine areas --- if the material were about human impact on alpine tundra, it would be ok to keep here. Thoughts? —hike395 (talk) 05:46, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
"High altitude"
Lead says that alpine tundra results from "high altitude," a concept which, elsewhere on Wikipedia is defined in medical terms relative to effects on human body, as 8,000 feet and above.
Obviously tundra doesn't know when it's "alpine." Somewhere one can read that alpine and polar treeline is a function mostly of mean annual temperature.
