Crambe feuillei
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Crambe feuillei faces severe threats from its extremely restricted range on the Canary Islands, where it occupies only a few coastal cliff locations. The species is particularly vulnerable to habitat degradation from coastal development, tourism infrastructure, and recreational activities that disturb its specialized rocky habitat. Climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns and increased storm intensity affecting the fragile cliff ecosystems where this endemic crucifer survives.
Habitat
This endemic Canary Islands species inhabits rocky coastal cliffs and crevices, typically growing in exposed maritime environments with salt spray exposure. It occupies specialized microhabitats within the cliff face ecosystem, requiring specific soil conditions and moisture regimes found only in these narrow coastal zones.
