Res. In Argentina, South America, the grasslands are known as pampas.
The average rainfall on an Alpine biome is around 12 inches per year. Chinese Science Bulletin Chin. We subjected Swiss alpine grassland communities to heat waves with varying intensity by Biology and Fertility of Soils DOI 10.1007/s00374-016-1088-6}{Wu, J., Zhang, X., Shen, Z., Shi, P., Yu, C., & Chen, B. These animals and birds are featured in our World Wildlife section.Other animals living high in the mountains are: alpine versions of geckos and skunks, spiders, dragonflies, cockroaches, wētā, grasshoppers, cicadas, flies, moths, flatworms and giant snail. World Biomes.com. Bull., 59(32), 4332–4340. This major habitat type includes high elevation (montane and alpine) grasslands and shrublands, including the puna and paramo in South America, subalpine heath in New Guinea and East Africa, steppes of the Tibetan plateaus, as well as other similar subalpine habitats around the world. Alpine biomes are found in mountain regions worldwide, including the Andes, Alps, and Rocky Mountains.
Major biomes include Tundra, Deciduous Forest, Savanna, Taiga, Chaparral, Rainforest, Grasslands, Desert, and Alpine.
Effects of livestock exclusion and climate change on aboveground biomass accumulation in alpine pastures across the Northern Tibetan Plateau. }{Lu, X., Yan, Y., Fan, J., Cao, Y., & Wang, X.
There are only warm blooded animals in the Alpine biome and some species of insects.Alpine animals are naturally aided to adapt to Alpine climates by having shorter limbs such as legs, ears and tails. Journal of Mountain Science, 8(6), 838–844.}

Effects of Grazing on Above- vs. Below-Ground Biomass Allocation of Alpine Grasslands on the Northern Tibetan Plateau.
Responses of CO{Zeng, C., Wu, J., Zhang, X. Q. The Alpine-steppe is a high altitude natural alpine grassland, which is a part of the Montane grasslands and shrublands biome. Alpine grassland was the main vegetation type in the area. Spatial and climatic patterns of the relative abundance of poisonous vs. non-poisonous plants across the Northern Tibetan Plateau. Winter seasons last from October to May and summer from June to September. }{Hong, J., Wang, X., Wu, J. The alpine biome usually lies between an altitude of about 10,000 feet (3,000 meters), and the place where the snow line of a mountain begins.
This major habitat type includes high elevation (montane and alpine) grasslands and shrublands, including the puna and paramo in South America, subalpine heath in New Guinea and East Africa, steppes of the Tibetan plateaus, as well as other similar subalpine habitats around the world.Drier, yet distinctive, subtropical montane grasslands, savannas, and woodlands include the Ethiopian Highlands, the Zambezian montane grasslands and woodlands, and the montane habitats of southeastern Africa.The montane grasslands of the Tibetan Plateau still support relatively intact migrations of Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsoni) and kiang, or Tibetan wild ass (Equus hemionus).
