If it is caused by wind, it is known as krummholz formation, from the German for 'twisted wood'.:58 The tree line, like many other natural lines, appears well-defined from a distance, but upon sufficiently close inspection, it is a gradual transition in most places. Trees grow shorter towards the inhospitable climate until they simply stop growing.:55...
