High elevation research focuses on studying how living organisms, ecosystems, and geological processes are impacted by high altitudes. This research area often examines the effects of low oxygen levels, extreme temperatures, and harsh environmental conditions on plants, animals, and humans living at high elevations. Scientists may study how biodiversity changes with altitude, how species adapt to high altitude environments, and how climate change may be affecting these regions. High elevation research is important for understanding the unique challenges and opportunities presented by these extreme environments.
