The effect of climate change has been revealed on the following characteristics of endangered Carpathian high-mounatin species: their distribution, population parameters such as age and spatial structure, area and density, as well as vegetative microstructural traits. The range of species threatened by climate factors in the Ukrainian Carpathians has been identified. The species that are vulnerable to climate change have been proposed for inclusion in the Red Data Book of Ukraine and regional red lists. Current distribution data on the high-mountain species has been updated with the aim to include it in subsequent "Floras", "Plant identification guides", "Red lists" and "Red books" of the Carpathian region countries. It has been substantiated that climate-related decline in distribution of the Ukrainian Carpathian high-mountain species which are at the northeastern border of their Central European range is likely to contribute to biodiversity loss on all-European scale.
