timberline
The timberline, also known as the tree line or forest line, is the edge of the habitat at which trees are capable of growing. Beyond this line, the environmental conditions are usually too harsh, typically due to cold temperatures, lack of moisture, or poor soil quality, and trees are unable to grow there. The exact elevation or latitude of the timberline can vary significantly depending on specific geographic regions.
