Species Profile
Species profile data sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
Timmersågsfibbla faces severe threats from habitat degradation and fragmentation in its specialized alpine and subalpine environments. Climate change poses an additional critical risk by altering the temperature and moisture conditions essential for this species' survival in high-elevation ecosystems. The species' extremely limited distribution and small population size make it particularly vulnerable to local extinctions.
Key Facts
Habitat & Distribution
Occupies specialized alpine and subalpine meadows, rocky slopes, and cliff crevices at high elevations in Scandinavian mountain ranges. Requires specific soil conditions and microclimates found in these harsh, cold-adapted ecosystems above the treeline.
