DESCRIPTION:High-elevation islands\, especially in the tropics and subtropi
 cs\, are global hotspots of plant diversity. Owing to their isolation and 
 strong environmental gradients their exceptional position in terms of dive
 rsity results in large parts from in-situ speciation\, leading to the evol
 ution of endemic species. Thus\, understanding the underlying drivers of d
 iversity and the disturbances that shape them may offer fundamental insigh
 ts into general ecological processes. However\, patterns and processes are
  often scale-dependent. Thus\, the talk will aim at crossing scales from l
 ocal to global\, also bridging between disciplines such as island biogeogr
 aphy\, island ecology\, disturbance ecology and invasion ecology. On the g
 lobal scale\, the talk will attempt a tentative classification of high-ele
 vation islands\, and discuss possible drivers of island treeline formation
  using an innovative sampling approach (GoogleEarth). On the regional to l
 ocal scale a focus will be put on the drivers of spatial patterns of speci
 es richness\, endemism and range size\, determine the temporal dynamics of
  plant succession on lava flows\, and assess the impact of major human-med
 iated disturbances (introduced herbivores\, fire\, roads) on the endemic f
 lora of our model island La Palma\, Canary Islands. Due to the continental
 -scale environmental gradients on the landscape scale of a medium-sized oc
 eanic island\, it is justifiable to call La Palma a climatic mini-continen
 t\, highlighting that the insights gained here might be relevant for other
  non-insular systems.
