Campanula euboica
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Campanula euboica faces severe threats from habitat degradation due to overgrazing by livestock, particularly goats, which damage the rocky crevices and cliff faces where this endemic bellflower grows. Urban development and quarrying activities on Euboea Island have further reduced available habitat, while the species' extremely limited range makes it vulnerable to stochastic events and genetic bottlenecks.
Habitat
This endemic Greek bellflower inhabits limestone cliffs, rocky crevices, and steep calcareous slopes on the island of Euboea. It grows in Mediterranean scrubland and rocky outcrops at elevations between 200-800 meters, typically in areas with sparse vegetation and well-drained soils.
