Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Bryoerythrophyllum duellii faces significant threats from habitat degradation and loss of suitable limestone substrates in its restricted range. Urban development and quarrying activities directly destroy the specialized calcareous rock faces this moss requires for survival. Climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns that could affect the delicate moisture balance essential for this bryophyte's reproductive cycles.

Threat summary

Habitat
