“…This is especially the case if glacial periods were associated with much drier conditions on oceanic islands as is the case on continents. Semidesert winds affecting exposed island summits; or (f) the anthropogenic disturbance, which likely may have extirpated tree species able to grow above the present timberline (the case of Juniperus cedrus in La Palma and Tenerife, the Canaries) (Nogales et al, 2014).…”

“…En el caso concreto de la alta montaña de Tenerife entran además en juego otros factores. Por ejemplo, la actual presencia de cedros (Juniperus cedrus) dispersos sobre todo por cantiles y lugares de difícil acceso denota que este árbol pudo haber tenido en el pasado mayor protagonismo en la vegetación de la alta montaña que el que tiene en la actualidad(Nogales et al 2014); de hecho, fue una especie muy explotada por el hombre, aunque aún perviven ejemplares de más de mil años de antigüedad(García-Cervigón et al 2019). La recuperación de las poblaciones de cedros podría otorgar a esta especie un papel relevante en la nueva comunidad vegetal que se está configurando.…”

“…While the previous papers provide irrefutable evidence of the dynamic nature and vulnerability of tropical island alpine and subalpine environments, the papers by Nogales et al (2014), Irl et al (2014), Banko et al (2014), and Cronin et al (2014) address the crucial question of how we transcend the disturbance on these mountains to sustain the welfare of local mountain dependent human communities and unique yet spatially restricted ecosystems. These authors advocate rehabilitation of habitats driven by a better understanding of local paleoenvironmental conditions to pinpoint the time frame in which anthropogenic changes have taken place as well as the ecosystem components found in the fossil evidence.…”
