Definission: An alpine condition is an environmental condition in which the monthly mean temperature is less than 10 degrees Celsius and which occurs at altitudes above the tree line and below the snowline.
Definission: This organism produces this material or substance, either during its life or after death. A produces B if some process that occurs in A has output B.
