What is another word for treeline?
Pronunciation: [tɹˈiːla͡ɪn] (IPA) 
The treeline is the boundary beyond which trees can no longer grow due to factors such as altitude, latitude, or soil conditions. Synonyms for treeline include timberline, forest line, tree belt, and treestand. Timberline is commonly used to refer to the elevation at which treeline occurs, while forest line emphasizes the border between wooded and non-wooded areas. Tree belt and treestand both evoke the image of a path through a densely wooded area, perhaps frequented by animals or humans. Regardless of the term used, the treeline is an important natural feature that plays a key role in determining the character of mountainous or high-latitude landscapes.
