Pinus Mugo Ssp. Rotundata - Version 2015.2. Farjon, A. In The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, pages 18153856/0+. 2013. abstract bibtex [Excerpt] Although widespread in Central Europe, each locality is small, restricted to usually small upland peat bogs which are small lakes or ponds filled in with sphagnum peat since the last Ice Age. Consequently, the population is severely fragmented and the area of occupancy is small (76 km2), here estimated on a fairly good sampling of localities across the range and with a grid width of 2 km. There is continuous decline as many of these bogs are not or inadequately protected against draining and afforestation. This taxon therefore is assessed as Endangered under the B2 criterion. [::Range Description] Has a similar distribution to the species, being recorded across Europe on various mountain ranges including the Pyrenees, the Auvergne Mountains ,the Alps, Erzgebirge, Böhmerwald, Sudeten and northwest Carpathians. [::Countries] Native: Austria; Czech Republic; France (France (mainland)); Germany; Italy (Italy (mainland)); Poland; Switzerland [::Population] Very localized with small populations. [::Habitat and Ecology] This subspecies is almost exclusively limited to peat bogs (built mainly of the moss genus Sphagnum) at middle elevations in the mountains of central Europe, in Poland down to 180 m a.s.l. In the central parts of these bogs it is usually a low shrub with layering stems, but at the edges in a transition zone to more mineral soil it has to compete with other trees, e.g. Picea abies, and becomes a small, erect and single-stemmed tree. Soils are extremely acid, moist and peaty. When the bog becomes drier, dwarf shrubs, mostly Ericaceae, often dominate the undergrowth and the pines grow taller. [::Use and Trade] This subspecies is too uncommon and also grows too slowly to be of importance as a timber tree. Its horticultural interest is limited to arboreta, where it is often incorrectly labelled as P. uncinata - that is in fact a distinct and different species, and can grow into an erect small tree. Hybrids have been described between subsp. mugo and subsp. rotundata, and such plants may also occasionally be in cultivation. As with other pines, this species produces a resin that has some medicinal uses. [::Major Threat(s)] In the last 100 years many of the upland bogs have been drained, destroyed by peat cutting, or drastically altered by forestry, mainly plantations with Norway Spruce (Picea abies). This subspecies is unable to compete with Picea abies or other trees that will invade when the bog is drained. As a result, it has declined or even disappeared from many bogs in Germany and elsewhere (Schmidt 2011). It does not appear as threatened on the German Red List, but in all three Lands in which it occurs naturally (Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg and Sachsen) it is listed as threatened, while it has become extinct in Thüringen. The situation in Poland is also of concern; in one reserve an attempt at re-introduction has been undertaken (Schmidt 2011).
