increase of deciduous oaks populations regarding decades ago. In terms of global change
(Peñuelas et al 2007) and assuming the uncertainty linked to the complexity of the phenomenon,
it could indicate competitive exclusion episodes of deciduous oaks as shift biome processes.
In conclusion, the analysis of driving forces of land use & cover process highlights limiting
factors and conservation risks and make it clear the need to integrate land use as an active
management tool to maintain Mediterranean mountain landscapes and its biodiversity. However,
in actual global change scenario more future researches are necessary to improve our knowledge
about biodiversity responses, especially to land use and climate change components, as a way to
guarantee its conservation.
