Geocharis radicalis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Geocharis radicalis faces severe threats from agricultural expansion and intensive farming practices that destroy its specialized soil microhabitats. Urban development and infrastructure projects further fragment the limited areas where this ground beetle can survive. The species' restricted range and highly specific habitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes and human disturbance.
Habitat
This ground beetle inhabits specialized soil environments and underground microhabitats in temperate regions. It requires specific soil chemistry and moisture conditions that are increasingly rare due to human land use changes.
