Stellately-hairy Bramble

Rubus septentrionalis

Unknown

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

The Stellately-hairy Bramble faces significant pressure from habitat fragmentation as its specialized woodland and forest edge environments are converted for agricultural and urban development. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the moisture and temperature regimes essential for this species' survival in its northern range. Competition from invasive plant species and changes in forest management practices further compromise the integrity of its remaining habitat patches.

Threat summary
