rosa lundlav
Bacidia rosella
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Rosa lundlav faces severe pressure from air pollution, particularly nitrogen deposition and sulfur compounds that alter the chemical composition of its bark substrates. Urban development and forest management practices that favor younger tree stands reduce the availability of suitable old-growth bark habitats. Climate change compounds these threats by altering precipitation patterns and increasing temperature stress on both the lichen and its host trees.
Habitat
Rosa lundlav grows exclusively on the bark of old deciduous trees, particularly favoring mature oak, ash, and maple species in humid forest environments. The species requires stable microclimatic conditions with consistent moisture levels and minimal air pollution exposure.
