The species is caldophilus and hygrophilus, occurring primarily in forested and rocky habitats, especially on siliceous rock faces on southern mountain slopes. As a result of its high susceptibility even to minor microclimatic variation,\n                    <ns3:italic>L. subalpinum<\/ns3:italic>\n                    may serve as an important indicator species of montane\u2013subalpine ecosystem conditions. Moreover, as the species is restricted to a narrow geographical and altitudinal range, it represents an important regional biodiversity element and a relevant species for prioritizing the conservation of high-altitude habitats. The reference genome of\n                    <ns3:italic>L. subalpinum<\/ns3:italic>\n                    provides a crucial resource for uncovering the genetic differences between this species and the morphologically similar congener\n                    <ns3:italic>L. rupestre.<\/ns3:italic>\n                    The entirety of the genome sequence was assembled into 11 contiguous chromosomal pseudomolecules.
