A new study led by the University of Exeter examined the alpine "vegetation line" (the upper limit of continuous plants) in six regions across the Himalaya, from Ladakh, India in the far west of the mountain range, to the extreme east in Bhutan. The researchers found that plants are growing higher up mountains across the Himalayan region. The paper is published in the journal Ecography.
