    Winds can be high throughout the year and are a major factor limiting plant growth near the upper limit of the subalpine zone (tree line). Wind limits vegetative growth chiefly in two ways: by physically battering plants, including blowing snow and ice, and by increasing evapotranspiration in an environment that is already water-stressed. [4]

    Above the tree line, extreme winds preclude tree-like growth. [6]: 17 Constant winds hitting the plants limits their size and flattens their shape. [10]Small size or dwarfism is therefore an adaptive feature to the extremes, and most alpine plants are just a few inches tall.
