Hieracium neoserratifrons

Local name: sågfibbla

Unknown

Overview

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

Sågfibbla faces severe pressure from habitat fragmentation and degradation of its specialized alpine and subalpine environments. Climate change poses an escalating threat as warming temperatures force this cold-adapted species to retreat to increasingly limited high-elevation refugia. Agricultural intensification and infrastructure development in mountain valleys further reduce available habitat, while the species' narrow ecological requirements make it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes.

Threat summary

Habitat

Sågfibbla inhabits specialized alpine and subalpine environments, typically found in rocky crevices, scree slopes, and mountain grasslands at elevations between 1,200-2,000 meters. The species requires well-drained, mineral-rich soils and cool, humid conditions characteristic of Scandinavian mountain ecosystems.
