The Sierra Nevada hosted the last glaciers in southern Europe. Today, it is one of the most important centers of plant diversity in the western Mediterranean and one of the most outstanding in Europe. This massif has ideal conditions to analyze past environments as well as the effects of global change on ecosystems. This can be seen in the large number of projects that are being conducted within the umbrella of the Sierra Nevada Global Change Observatory. This book summarizes all the scientific knowledge available about this massif, from the geomorphological and ecological perspectives to the recent spatial adaptive management and Open Science initiatives. Focusing on the very sensitive mountain environment of Sierra Nevada, the book intends to be a reference for many people interested in mountain processes. The audience would include scientists from all disciplines, but it would also target on an audience beyond the academia (territorial managers, environmentalists, mountaineers, politicians, technicians, etc.). 410 0$aEarth and Environmental Science Series 606 $aGeography 606 $aEcology 606 $aGeomorphology 606 $aClimatology 606 $aBiodiversity 606 $aGeography 606 $aEcology 606 $aGeomorphology 606 $aClimate Sciences 606 $aBiodiversity 606 $aEcologia del paisatge$2thub 606 $aGeomorfologia$2thub 606 $aBiogeografia$2thub 607 $aSierra Nevada (Andalusia)$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aGeography. 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aGeomorphology. 615 0$aClimatology. 615 0$aBiodiversity. 615 14$aGeography. 615 24$aEcology. 615 24$aGeomorphology. 615 24$aClimate Sciences. 615 24$aBiodiversity. 615 7$aEcologia del paisatge 615 7$aGeomorfologia 615 7$aBiogeografia 676 $a333.95 702 $aOliva$b Marc 702 $aZamora$b Regino 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910574860903321 996 $aThe Landscape of the Sierra Nevada$92880499 997 $aUNINA
