Drepanolejeunea senticosa
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Drepanolejeunea senticosa faces severe threats from deforestation and habitat degradation in its limited range within tropical montane cloud forests. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized environmental changes and human disturbances. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the delicate moisture and temperature conditions essential for this epiphytic liverwort's survival.
Habitat
This epiphytic liverwort inhabits the bark of trees in tropical montane cloud forests, typically at elevations between 1,000-2,500 meters. It requires the consistently high humidity and stable temperatures characteristic of these specialized ecosystems.
