Alchemilla semidivisa

Local name: norddalsdaggkåpa

Unknown

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.

Threat summary

Habitat
