Hieracium toerense

Unknown

Overview

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

Hieracium toerense faces severe threats from habitat degradation and extremely limited distribution in specialized alpine environments. The species is highly vulnerable to climate change impacts on high-altitude ecosystems, combined with grazing pressure and potential genetic bottlenecks due to small, isolated populations.

Threat summary

Habitat

Rocky alpine meadows, scree slopes, and cliff crevices in high-altitude mountain environments, typically occurring on calcareous substrates between 1,500-2,500m elevation. The species is adapted to harsh montane conditions with short growing seasons and extreme temperature fluctuations.

Frequently asked questions

Why is salemfibbla classified as Critically Endangered?
salemfibbla is classified as Critically Endangered — facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild — because population sizes are very small, declining sharply, or restricted to a tiny range. Hieracium toerense faces severe threats from habitat degradation and extremely limited distribution in specialized alpine environments. The species is highly vulnerable to climate change impacts on high-altitude ecosystems, combined with grazing pressure and potential genetic bottlenecks due to small, isolated populations.
Where does salemfibbla live?
salemfibbla occurs in Sweden. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
What are the main threats to salemfibbla?
The main threats to salemfibbla are ai-1, ai-2, ai-3, and ai-4. The full IUCN-classified threat record for this species is detailed on the species page.
