Erythroseris amabilis

Unknown

Overview

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

Erythroseris amabilis faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and livestock grazing in its limited montane habitat range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while collection for horticultural trade has further reduced wild populations. Climate change poses an additional threat as warming temperatures alter the cool, moist conditions this alpine plant requires.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species inhabits cool, moist montane grasslands and alpine meadows at elevations between 2,000-3,500 meters. It typically grows in well-drained soils among rocky outcrops and requires the specific microclimate conditions found in high-altitude ecosystems.

Why is Erythroseris amabilis classified as Endangered?
Erythroseris amabilis is classified as Endangered — facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild — because population numbers are declining steeply and key habitats are under sustained pressure. Erythroseris amabilis faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and livestock grazing in its limited montane habitat range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while collection for horticultural trade has further reduced wild populations. Climate change poses an additional threat as warming temperatures alter the cool, moist conditions this alpine plant requires.
Where does Erythroseris amabilis live?
Erythroseris amabilis occurs in across multiple regions. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
What are the main threats to Erythroseris amabilis?
The main threats to Erythroseris amabilis are ai-1, ai-2, ai-3, and ai-4. The full IUCN-classified threat record for this species is detailed on the species page.
