Pilosella fuscoatra

Local name: Jastrzębiec brunatny

Unknown

Overview

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

Pilosella fuscoatra faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its specialized montane environments. Agricultural intensification and grazing pressure in alpine meadows directly impact the species' preferred growing conditions. Climate change poses an additional threat as warming temperatures may force this cold-adapted species to retreat to increasingly limited high-altitude refugia.
