Bidens uapensis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Bidens uapensis faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and cattle ranching activities that fragment and destroy its native habitat. The species' restricted range makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances, while invasive plant species compete for resources in its remaining habitat patches. Climate change poses an additional long-term threat through altered precipitation patterns that could affect the moisture-dependent ecosystems where this endemic species occurs.
Habitat
This endemic species inhabits montane grasslands and open woodland edges at moderate to high elevations. It typically occurs in areas with well-drained soils and seasonal moisture patterns characteristic of tropical highland ecosystems.
