Pirineos. Revista de Ecología de Montaña es una revista científica publicada por el CSIC, editada en el Instituto Pirenaico de Ecología, que publica trabajos relacionados con la dinámica de los ecosistemas de montaña, es decir, con los procesos y las relaciones que se establecen entre los seres vivos y entre estos últimos y el medio ambiente, en un espacio tan peculiar como el de las regiones más elevadas del planeta. Trata, por lo tanto, de contribuir a explicar el funcionamiento global de las regiones de montaña y la organización espacial de recursos y procesos, con una perspectiva integradora en la que el hombre ejerce también un papel destacado. La revista acepta trabajos originales con datos científicos nuevos e importantes para el conjunto de la Ecología de Montaña, especialmente aquellos que aportan información sobre los flujos existentes entre subsistemas, la influencia del hombre en la transformación del medio ambiente montano, las relaciones tróficas entre los seres vivos y el funcionamiento de los diferentes aspectos que constituyen la base de los ecosistemas de montaña.
