Often located in high-altitude regions, these ecosystems, like the Ethiopian Highlands or the Andean páramo, are characterized by cool, wet conditions. Flora includes tussock grasses and hardy shrubs, while fauna often features various rodents, ungulates, and bird species. These biomes are important water towers, providing crucial resources for downstream communities.
