Hieracium juelii

Unknown

Overview

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

Hieracium juelii faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its restricted alpine range, where climate change is driving upward shifts in vegetation zones and reducing suitable rocky outcrop habitats. Agricultural intensification and grazing pressure in surrounding areas further fragment its already limited populations. The species' narrow ecological requirements and small population size make it particularly vulnerable to stochastic events and genetic bottlenecks.

Threat summary

Habitat

This alpine hawkweed is endemic to rocky outcrops, scree slopes, and cliff faces in high-elevation mountain environments of Scandinavia. It typically grows in nutrient-poor, well-drained soils between rock crevices at elevations above 800 meters, where it has adapted to harsh weather conditions and short growing seasons.

Frequently asked questions

Why is jueltallfibbla classified as Vulnerable?
jueltallfibbla is classified as Vulnerable because the population is declining and the species faces a high risk of extinction in the medium-term future if current pressures continue. Hieracium juelii faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its restricted alpine range, where climate change is driving upward shifts in vegetation zones and reducing suitable rocky outcrop habitats. Agricultural intensification and grazing pressure in surrounding areas further fragment its already limited populations. The species' narrow ecological requirements and small population size make it particularly vulnerable to stochastic events and genetic bottlenecks.
