Threat Impact Comments
Somewhat threatened by land-use conversion and habitat fragmentation (has lost habitat through development and conversion of wetlands). Lack of disturbance resulting in succession is also a threat, making prescribed fire or mechanical removal of woody shrubs or trees necessary (Southern Appalachian Species Viability Project 2002).
