Sorbus acutiserrata
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Sorbus acutiserrata faces severe population decline due to its extremely restricted range and small population size. The species is threatened by habitat degradation from agricultural expansion and infrastructure development in its limited montane forest habitat. Climate change poses an additional threat as warming temperatures may shift suitable habitat zones beyond the species' current elevational range.
Habitat
This rare rowan species inhabits montane forests and rocky slopes at high elevations, typically growing in cool, moist conditions with well-drained soils. It is found in mixed deciduous and coniferous forest communities where it occurs as scattered individuals or small populations.
