Species Profile
Species profile data sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
Hieracium amoenifrons faces severe population declines due to habitat loss from agricultural expansion and urban development in its limited alpine range. Climate change poses an additional critical threat as warming temperatures force this cold-adapted species to retreat to increasingly restricted high-elevation refugia with nowhere left to migrate.
Key Facts
Habitat & Distribution
Alpine and subalpine meadows, rocky slopes, and grasslands typically between 1,500-3,000m elevation in mountainous regions. Prefers well-drained soils in open areas with moderate moisture and cool temperatures year-round.
