narreglye

Staurolemma omphalarioides

Unknown

Overview

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

Narreglye faces significant pressure from habitat degradation due to agricultural expansion and urban development within its limited range in southeastern Australia. The species' specialized requirements for specific soil chemistry and moisture conditions make it particularly vulnerable to land-use changes and altered hydrology from drainage activities. Climate change poses an additional threat through shifting precipitation patterns that could disrupt the delicate moisture balance essential for this lichen's survival.

Threat summary

Habitat

Narreglye occurs on calcareous soils in open woodlands and grasslands, typically growing on soil crusts in areas with specific pH and moisture requirements. The species is found in temperate regions of southeastern Australia where it forms part of specialized cryptobiotic soil communities.
