Threat ImpactVery high - medium
Range Extent<100-250 square km (less than about 40-100 square miles)
Number of Occurrences6 - 20
Rank ReasonsA narrow endemic of the Spring Mountains in Clark County, Nevada. Known from about 11 locations. Threatened by loss of occurrences due to development and alteration of its spring and riparian habitat including: recreational use of riparian areas, competition from exotic species, wild horse and burro trampling, and spring diversions.
Range Extent CommentsSpring Mountains, Clark county, Nevada.
Occurrences CommentsOur 2014 analysis of available spatial data indicates 11 estimated occurrence separated by 1 km or more (J. Morefield, pers. comm., 2019).
Threat Impact CommentsAn 'Adaptive Management Report for Clark County, Nevada, Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP)' was written in 2008 for all of Clark County, Nevada in response to an Incidental Take Permit held by Clark County, Nevada Department of Transportation and several cities. The Incidental Take Permit allows up to 145,000 acres of habitat loss to take place over 30 years beginning in January 2001 (Sada et al. 2008). Angelica scabrida is endemic to Clark County, Nevada and is considered in the MSHCP. It is estimated that approximately 9% of the considered sites of A. scabrida in the Plan will be lost due to direct human impacts from the Permit (Sada et al. 2008). Other threats exist in addition to loss of occurrences via the Incidental Take Permit, and these include water diversion from the riparian and spring habitats where it occurs, recreation and damage from non-native species, including but not limited to cattle (Sada et al. 2008, Morefield 2001).
Ecology & Habitat
Habitat
Rocky calcareous drainages, canyon bottoms, springs, rocky ravines, and seepy north-facing hillsides over carbonate or sandstone at elevations of 1231-2850 m (Morefield 2001, Sada et al. 2008). Associated with ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa), curl-leaf mountain mahogany (Cercocarpus ledifolius var. intermontanus), and quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) in the montane setting. Associated with a willow (Salix lasiolepis) or with shrub live oak (Quercus turbinella) in the lower, desert setting.
