Ramboldia subcinnabarina

Unknown

Overview

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

Ramboldia subcinnabarina faces severe threats from air pollution and acid rain, which directly damage its sensitive thallus structure and disrupt the delicate chemical balance required for photosynthesis. Urban development and industrial activities within its limited range have significantly reduced suitable substrate availability, while climate change is altering the specific humidity and temperature conditions this lichen requires for survival.

Threat summary

Habitat

This crustose lichen grows exclusively on the bark of mature deciduous trees, particularly favoring oak and beech species in old-growth and semi-natural woodland environments. It requires specific microclimate conditions with high humidity, moderate light levels, and clean air quality typically found in undisturbed forest ecosystems.
