Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Vicia dumetorum faces significant pressure from agricultural intensification and habitat fragmentation across its European range. The species' specialized requirements for forest edges and scrubland margins make it particularly vulnerable to land-use changes that eliminate these transitional habitats. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the timing of flowering and seed production, potentially disrupting pollination cycles and reducing reproductive success.
Habitat
Vicia dumetorum typically inhabits forest edges, woodland clearings, and scrubland margins across temperate Europe. The species shows a preference for semi-shaded environments with well-drained soils, often growing among shrubs and at the interface between forested and open areas.
