Lowland Deciduous Trees Against Highland Conifers

In this alternate scenario, there is a clear ecological distinction between broad-leaved deciduous trees and coniferous trees based solely on altitude. The broad-leaves and other angiosperms are the exclusive plants of the lowlands whereas conifers could be found only on the cooler, drier highlands. This scenario is based on the observation that conifers are adapted to more extreme environments than broad-leaves:
