Vicia pinetorum

Unknown

Overview

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

Vicia pinetorum faces significant pressure from habitat degradation due to logging activities and forest management practices that alter the understory composition of its pine forest habitat. Urban development and infrastructure expansion in mountainous regions further fragment the remaining suitable habitat patches. Climate change poses an additional threat by shifting the altitudinal zones where this species can survive, potentially forcing populations into increasingly restricted areas.

Threat summary

Habitat

Vicia pinetorum is endemic to pine forest understories, typically found in montane coniferous forests dominated by Pinus species. The species grows in partially shaded areas within these forests, often on well-drained soils at moderate to high elevations.
