However, their combined effects have been insufficiently investigated across large spatial and temporal scales particularly in high-elevation, nutrient-limited ecosystems.2-We examine whether and how N deposition and climate warming have altered the plant richness and the composition of subalpine semi-natural, extensively grazed grasslands of the Pyrenees, using two complementary approaches: i) analysis of 553 relevés to explore vegetation changes across large ecological gradients including temperature and N deposition (spatial approach) and ii) a resampling of a subset of 40 sites among the 553 sites to assess temporal changes over the past decades (temporal approach).3-Both approaches showed that the vascular plant species richness increased when temperature and cumulative N deposition increase, shifting of the species composition toward more thermophilic and eutrophic communities.4-Synthesis. We hypothesize that the release from abiotic constraints (milder temperature and higher N availability) due to global changes and long-standing extensive grazing counteracting the negative effects of N deposition have been responsible for the diversity and compositional changes of plant communities over the last decades in the Pyrenees. Thus, in contrast with other grasslands, high-elevation grazed grasslands may increase in species diversity with N deposition under climate warming.
