    to hide. However‚ it is a great home for large herds of grazing mammals‚ such as the zebra and the bison‚ because of the open land. Unlike Grassland ecosystems‚ the Mountain ecosystems vary a lot more in climate‚ due to different altitudes and reliefs. The altitude affects the climate‚ as the atmospheric temperature drops by 0‚5 – 0‚6 degrees Celsius per 100 meters. The climate is affected by the relief‚ as the mountains stand in the path of wind systems‚ forcing air to rise over them. When the

    Animals living at high elevations where there is less oxygen must have adaptations to ensure that sufficient oxygen is delivered to the tissues. Since the total air pressure is reduced at high altitudes‚ the partial pressure of oxygen is also reduced‚ so hemoglobin may not be saturated and tissues would fail to get enough oxygen. In order to combat this‚ animals can alter the amount of oxygen carried in their bloodstream by increasing the concentration of hemoglobin‚ increasing the hematocrit‚ or
