While the species is locally abundant and does not appear to suffer from inbreeding due to a small number of genets, continued local groundwater extraction coupled with forecasts of increasing regional desiccation due to accelerated climate change may combine to cause future population declines of N. There is not strong genetic differentiation among geographically separated clusters of plants. The relative frequency of the two reproductive strategies appears to vary among localities. mohavensis reproduces clonally and by outcrossing. In addition, three genotypes were sampled from individuals across the range of the species, a maximum distance of more than 50 km. Most individuals had unique genotypes however, there were many genotypes that were found in more than one individual and the most common genotype was sampled from 13 individuals. Out of 178 plants sampled from 35 different sample sites, there were 78 different multilocus genotypes. We isolated several polymorphic microsatellite loci and characterized genotypes from individuals spanning the range of the species as a means of inferring reproductive mode and population structure for the species. The species is restricted to moist alkaline soils of the Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge and nearby localities within the Amargosa River basin and is currently listed as endangered. Nitrophila mohavensis, commonly known as Amargosa niterwort, is a perennial forb classified in the family Chenopodiaceae.
