## Long description

Educational Mat "Verticality in Mountains and Forests" by Visual System is a classroom and home teaching aid that visually represents vertical zonation, animal habitats and food webs. The mat presents a cross-section from lowland forest through montane zones to alpine areas, illustrating the typical distribution of plant and animal communities by elevation and showing connections between species through predator–prey relationships. It is designed to support lessons in ecology, biology and environmental science with clear, large-format graphics suitable for group viewing and hands-on activities.
Advantages
The mat combines scientifically grounded illustrations with a layout optimized for classroom interaction, allowing teachers to demonstrate habitat stratification and trophic links at a glance. Durable print and a wipe-clean surface make it suitable for repeated use in lesson plans, while the clear depiction of species roles and dwellings facilitates discussion and assessment. Its size and visual clarity support collaborative exercises, labelling tasks and quick reference during fieldwork preparation or indoor study.
