Plant species (IUCN, 2023-1) 66,406 extant species have been evaluated; 61,035 of those are fully assessed [a] 34,588 are not threatened at present [b] 26,276 are threatened [c] 174 are extinct or extinct in the wild: 129 extinct (EX) species [d] 45 extinct in the wild (EW) 569 possibly extinct [CR(PE)] 48 possibly extinct in the wild [CR(PEW)]
As of December 2023, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists 5702 plant species categorized as Critically Endangered, including 569 which are tagged as possibly extinct and 48 possibly extinct in the wild. [1] [2] 8.6% of all evaluated plant species are listed as critically endangered. The IUCN also lists 284 subspecies ...
Additionally 1674 plant species (7.6% of those evaluated) are listed as data deficient, meaning there is insufficient information for a full assessment of conservation status. As these species typically have small distributions and/or populations, they are intrinsically likely to be threatened, according to the IUCN. [ 2 ]
Some native plants can gradually recover from wildfires. Others, she said, become “total matchsticks, unrecoverable.” This fire was uniquely brutal, she said.
[1] 8.5% of all evaluated plant species are listed as near threatened. The IUCN also lists 51 subspecies and 73 varieties as near threatened. No subpopulations of plants have been evaluated by the IUCN. This is a complete list of near threatened plant species, subspecies and varieties evaluated by the IUCN.
The World's 100 most threatened species [1] is a compilation of the most threatened animals, plants, and fungi in the world. It was the result of a collaboration between over 8,000 scientists from the International Union for Conservation of Nature Species Survival Commission (IUCN SSC), along with the Zoological Society of London .

Secondary succession is the secondary ecological succession of a plant's life. As opposed to the first, primary succession, secondary succession is a process started by an event (e.g. forest fire, harvesting, hurricane, etc.) that reduces an already established ecosystem (e.g. a forest or a wheat field) to a smaller population of species, and as such secondary succession occurs on preexisting ...
Vistra Energy's Moss Landing Power Plant was located in the unincorporated community of Moss Landing. The fire at the 300-megawatt lithium storage facility destroyed most of the building and its ...
