Alchemilla semidivisa
Local name: norddalsdaggkåpa
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Alchemilla semidivisa faces severe pressure from habitat degradation in its restricted alpine range. The species' specialized requirements for nutrient-poor, well-drained soils in high-altitude meadows make it particularly vulnerable to changes in grazing patterns and potential climate-driven shifts in alpine vegetation zones. Infrastructure development and recreational activities in mountain regions pose additional localized threats to remaining populations.
Habitat
This alpine lady's mantle inhabits nutrient-poor, well-drained soils in high-altitude meadows and grasslands of Scandinavia. It typically occurs in areas with traditional extensive grazing, requiring specific soil chemistry and moisture conditions found in montane and subalpine zones.
