A comparative account of the subalpine forests, the timberline, the dwarf pine community, and the various treeless communities at higher altitudes, in the subalpine/alpine zone in Japan and in Europe. In Japan, the subalpine forest consists of conifers/Betula (in Europe of conifers, with Fagus in marginal oceanic areas) and the timberline is unaffected by man, whereas in Europe it has been depressed by pastoralism.
