Answer:

One would most likely find stunted trees in a krummholz zone.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • A krummholz or a knieholz zone is the one in which there is a prevalence of harsh and chilling cold winds blowing at high speeds, low or moderate sunlight, scarcity or absence of liquid water, etc.
  • It is extremely hard for the trees to survive against such conditions and that is why their growth is stunted.
  • The trees in such zones grow to their full size only if they are covered by rocks or ice from the blowing side of the winds.
