Species Profile
Species profile data sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
Farnoldia jurana faces severe threats from air pollution and acid rain, which degrade the specific chemical conditions required for this crustose lichen's survival on limestone substrates. Climate change is altering precipitation patterns and temperature regimes in its montane habitats, while quarrying and development activities continue to destroy the calcareous rock formations it depends upon.
Key Facts
Habitat & Distribution
This crustose lichen grows exclusively on calcareous rocks and limestone substrates in montane and subalpine regions, typically found on exposed cliff faces, rocky outcrops, and limestone pavements at elevations between 800-2000 meters.
