    The vegetation in mountain biomes varies based on location and altitude, ranging from trees like pine, fir and spruce at the base to flowers and shrubs higher up. Wildlife that can endure the cold and windy conditions include mountain goats, ibex, sheep, mountain lions and pumas. Mountain biomes are ecologically important as they provide 60-80% of the world's freshwater and support half the global population.
