Field observations and remote assessment identify climate change, recreation, invasive species, and livestock as top threats to critically imperiled rare plants in nevada

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

The nature of threat varies by species; however, climate change and large, interconnected human populations underlie a multitude of factors that are driving increasing biodiversity declines globally and nationally (Duraiappah et_al, 2005; Pimm et_al, 2014; Nic Lughadha et_al, 2020). Rare plants are species with low proportional abundance, surface cover, and/or number of occurrences in comparison with common species at either regional or global scales (Mouillot et_al, 2013; Enquist et_al, 2019). While not all rare species have been observed to be threatened and some are locally abundant (Lesica et_al, 2006), all are inherently vulnerable . . .
