Mandenovia komarovii
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Mandenovia komarovii faces significant pressure from agricultural expansion and intensive grazing in its limited montane habitat range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation and degradation from livestock overgrazing. Climate change poses an additional threat as warming temperatures may force this cold-adapted plant to retreat to higher elevations with increasingly limited suitable habitat.
Habitat
This species inhabits montane grasslands and alpine meadows at high elevations, typically growing in rocky slopes and subalpine zones. It prefers well-drained soils in open areas with cold winter conditions and brief growing seasons.
