styv glandelfibbla

Hieracium subglaucovirens

Unknown

Overview

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

Styv glandelfibbla faces significant pressure from habitat fragmentation due to agricultural intensification and urban development in its native Scandinavian range. Climate change poses an additional threat as warming temperatures alter the alpine and subalpine meadow conditions this hawkweed species requires. Overgrazing by livestock in traditional pastoral areas has reduced suitable habitat patches, while invasive plant species compete for the specialized ecological niches this vulnerable species occupies.

Threat summary
