// Definition
The variation in microbial populations and pest pressure at different altitudes, where higher elevations have different micro-biological life and reduced pest pressure compared to lowland growing environments.
// From the Episode
Sam discusses how at 5000+ feet, you have different microbial communities and nitrogen availability. This affects both plant health and the contaminant profile of the harvested material. The reduced microbiotic pressure at altitude is one reason why highland cannabis can be cleaner.
