Tree limit - Koubokugenkai

Japanese: 高木限界 - こうぼくげんかい
Tree limit - Koubokugenkai

This refers to the limit, or boundary line, of the distribution of tall trees in polar regions, high mountains, etc. In areas with a lot of precipitation, it roughly coincides with the tree line, but in dry regions, individual trees are often scattered in areas beyond the tree line.
