Hieracium succulentifolium

Unknown

Overview

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

Hieracium succulentifolium faces severe threats from habitat destruction and fragmentation due to urban development and agricultural expansion in its limited range. Climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns and temperature increases that affect the specialized rocky habitats this species requires. The species' extremely restricted distribution and small population size make it particularly vulnerable to local extinctions.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species occupies specialized rocky outcrops, cliff faces, and crevices in mountainous terrain, typically growing in thin soils and exposed mineral substrates. It is adapted to harsh conditions with extreme temperature fluctuations and limited water availability in these alpine and subalpine rocky environments.
