the similarity of taxonomic composition among communities along elevation gradients. This process can be envisaged as the first stage of a taxonomic homogenization processes (McKinney and Lockwood 1999; Olden and Rooney 2006) or, in
Fig. 16.8 An elevational displacement has been observed for major woody plant species
(Pyrenean oak, autochthonous pine and high-mountain shrublands) (a). We also found an
outstanding woodland expansion towards marginal areas (abandoned croplands and pine
plantations) (b). Modified from Pérez-Luque et al. (2015)
