	Climate of the Alps (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The climate of the Alps is the climate, or average weather conditions over a long time, of the central Alpine region of Europe.
		It is well known that as we rise from sea level into the upper regions of the atmosphere the temperature decreases.
		Local conditions of exposure to the Sun, protection from cold winds, or the reverse, are of primary importance in determining the climate and the corresponding vegetation.

		The high mountain tussock grasslands, herbfields and mossbeds of the subalpine and alpine zones are particularly sensitive.
		Past grazing by domestic livestock, and associated activities, such as burning, fundamentally altered the high mountain (subalpine and alpine) ecosystems, which have evolved in the absence of frequent fire and regular grazing by larger animals, hoofed beasts in particular.
		Alpine and subalpine vegetation is slow to recover from disturbance, and the rate of recovery is unquestionably slower in areas grazed by cattle.
