Threat Impact Comments
Phacelia fimbriata has a limited distribution, making it especially vulnerable to land-use conversion and habitat fragmentation (impacts on private forest land in ecoregion). Forest management practices (harvest, site prep, Rx fire) also threaten this species, which is sensitive to changes in forest conditions (Southern Appalachian Species Viability Project 2002).
