Sorbus latifolia
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Sorbus latifolia faces significant pressure from habitat fragmentation and loss of suitable woodland environments across its European range. Urban development and agricultural intensification have reduced available habitat, while climate change threatens the specific microclimatic conditions this species requires. The species' limited dispersal ability and small, isolated populations make it particularly vulnerable to local extinctions and genetic bottlenecks.
Habitat
Sorbus latifolia typically inhabits deciduous and mixed woodlands, forest edges, and rocky slopes across temperate European regions. The species shows preference for well-drained soils and partial shade conditions, often occurring in association with other native tree species in fragmented woodland patches.
