Nardia huerlimannii
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Nardia huerlimannii faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its specialized montane environments. Climate change poses a particular threat as warming temperatures force this cold-adapted liverwort to retreat to increasingly limited high-altitude refugia. Human activities including infrastructure development and recreational use in mountain areas further fragment its already restricted habitat range.
Habitat
This liverwort inhabits specialized montane environments, typically found on moist rock surfaces, soil banks, and bryophyte communities in high-altitude regions. It requires cool, humid conditions with consistent moisture availability, making it particularly dependent on stable microclimate conditions in mountain ecosystems.
