This book provides case studies and general views of the main
processes involved in the ecosystem shifts occurring in the high
mountains and analyses the implications for nature conservation.
Case studies from the Pyrenees are preponderant, with a
comprehensive set of mountain ranges surrounded by highly
populated lowland areas also being considered.

The introductory and closing chapters will summarise the main
challenges that nature conservation may face in mountain areas
under the environmental shifting conditions. Further
chapters put forward approaches from environmental geography,
functional ecology, biogeography, and paleoenvironmental
reconstructions. Organisms from microbes to large carnivores, and
ecosystems from lakes to forest will be considered.
