Sorbus pseudothuringiaca
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Sorbus pseudothuringiaca faces severe population decline due to its extremely limited distribution and small population size, making it highly vulnerable to stochastic events. The species is threatened by habitat degradation from agricultural intensification and urban development pressures in its restricted range. Climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns and temperature regimes that may exceed the species' narrow ecological tolerances.
Habitat
This rare rowan species occupies rocky slopes, woodland edges, and montane habitats in central European regions. It typically grows in calcareous soils at moderate to high elevations, often in association with other native deciduous trees and shrubs.
