Mountain areas, although perceived as marginal regions, are extremely important ecosystems, especially as far as biodiversity is concerned. Despite recent increasing attention, however, no ad-hoc global international legally binding instrument has been adopted so far in this field.

Mountain Biodiversity, Its Causes and Function
AMBIO: A Journal of the Human Environment, 2004The personal safety and well-being of one fifth, and water supply for almost half of all people depend directly or indirectly on the functional integrity of mountain ecosystems, the key component of which is a robust vegetation cover. The green 'coat' of the world's mountains is composed of specialized plants, animals and microbes, all nested in a ...

Direct effects of mountain uplift and topography on biodiversity
ScienceBiodiversity hotspots in Earth’s mountain ranges suggest a strong connection between topographic development and biological processes. However, it remains unclear whether high biodiversity in mountain ranges is an evolutionary response to the rate of relief generation during mountain building. Focusing on small mammals, such as rodents, we used coupled

Mountain Biodiversity Patterns at Low and High Latitudes
AMBIO: A Journal of the Human Environment, 2004This paper presents an overview of mountain biodiversity at a multitude of scales in space, time, and function. Even though species richness is usually the focal component in nature conservation, genetic diversity within species is equally important.

A Global Assessment of Mountain Biodiversity: Synthesis
2019Global warming will reduce available land area for cold-adapted organisms and therefore it will be a threat to mountain plant species richness, especially in front ranges where alpine plants are restricted to small and isolated summits. At very high elevations, biodiversity diminishes gradually but so does land area, leading to very high biodiversity ...
