Abstract | ||
The conservation status of Scutellaria xylorrhiza Bornm in Isfahan province was studied according to the IUCN standards. This work was carried out using three criteria: level of presence, occupation level, and the number of mature species (based on field visits) and, according to the definitions and criteria, this species was introduced as endangered / EN. Field observations showed that Scutellaria xylorrhiza Bornm. is located in a limited area. The location of this species is in the central mountainous regions of Isfahan province, located in three areas, 1-the south-eastern city of Isfahan, 2- Lador Mountain, Khomeini-Shahr and 3- Karkas Mountain in Natanz (North of Isfahan). This plant is present on the slopes of the hilly cliffs in the altitudes of 1600-2500 m above sea level. Climate change and human activities, such as mining, land use change and degradation caused by the presence of tourists, can lead to a decline in the habitat of this species. | ||
