Montane forests outside Europe tend to be more species-rich, because Europe during the Pleistocene offered smaller-area refugia from the glaciers.

Montane level: [7] [22] Extends from the mid-elevation forests to the tree line. The exact level of the tree line varies with local climate, but typically the tree line is found where mean monthly soil temperatures never exceed 10.0 degrees C and the mean annual soil temperatures are around 6.7 degrees C.
Dinaric calcareous silver fir forests are among the most species-rich montane ecosystems in the Dinaric Alps. Mixed deciduous-silver fir peony ( Paeonia daurica Andrews)-forests with Paeonia daurica' have the most species rich composition found so far on Orjen ( Abies alba , Corylus colurna , Fraxinus excelsior , Fagus sylvatica , Acer ...
