Roldana neogibsonii
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Roldana neogibsonii faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and urban development in its limited montane range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances, while climate change poses additional risks by altering the specific temperature and moisture conditions required for its survival in high-altitude environments.
Habitat
This endemic plant species inhabits montane cloud forests and high-altitude pine-oak woodlands, typically found on steep slopes and rocky outcrops between 2,000-3,200 meters elevation. It requires specific microclimatic conditions with high humidity and consistent moisture levels characteristic of these specialized mountain ecosystems.
