Our contribution brings together the most relevant results of the research, which was a part of the all-European project GLORIA (The European dimension of the Global Observation Research Initiative in Alpine Environments). The fieldwork, data input and evaluation of data took 3 years (2001-2003). The establishing of the monitoring plots was the main aim of this project (reinvestigation intervals of 5 to 10 years, or even longer). The alpine belt of the Vysoké Tatry Mts and Liptovské kopy Mts was the objective area of our research. Here were recorded 67 species of vascular plants, 30 species of bryophytes and 27 species of lichens. For determination of the samples distribution along ecological gradients the DCA and PCA analysis were used.
