The aim of this thesis was to explore the distribution of the taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional components of plant diversity in high mountains, and to show how different components of diversity have responded to land-use and climate change over the last two decades. To address this aim, we used a multiple approach at different scales, by combining information from biodiversity databases and descriptive and experimental data gathered in the field. Some methodological improvements were implemented to account for the main sources of uncertainty inherent in the baseline data. The study was conducted in the Central Pyrenees, mainly in the Ordesa-Monte Perdido National Park (OMPNP). In Chapter 1 we developed a novel method to assess the ...
