Species Profile
Species profile data sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
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.
Key Facts
Habitat & Distribution
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.
