Scleropoa Rigida Var. Hemipoa

Scleropoa rigida var. hemipoa is a hardy grass species native to the mountainous regions of central and eastern Europe. It is known for its dense, tufted growth and its ability to thrive in poor, rocky soils. This plant is often found in alpine and subalpine environments where it plays a vital role in stabilizing soil and preventing erosion. Its unique morphology and ecological importance make it a subject of interest for botanists and conservationists. Despite its resilience, it faces threats from habitat loss and climate change.
