Overview

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

Campanula asperuloides faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and intensive grazing in its limited Mediterranean range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while climate change threatens to shift suitable growing conditions beyond its current elevational range. Urban development and infrastructure projects pose additional localized threats to remaining populations.

Threat summary

Habitat

This bellflower species inhabits rocky limestone slopes, cliff crevices, and dry grasslands in Mediterranean mountain regions. It typically grows at moderate to high elevations where it can establish in thin soils and rocky substrates with good drainage.
