Aglaia densitricha
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Aglaia densitricha faces severe population decline primarily due to extensive deforestation and habitat conversion for agricultural expansion and palm oil plantations across its limited range in Southeast Asian lowland forests. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction, while selective logging operations target the mature forest canopy where this tree species typically establishes. Climate change compounds these pressures by altering rainfall patterns essential for the species' reproductive cycles and seedling establishment.
Habitat
Aglaia densitricha inhabits primary and secondary lowland tropical rainforests, typically occurring in the forest understory and mid-canopy layers at elevations below 500 meters. The species requires well-drained soils and consistent moisture levels characteristic of Southeast Asian dipterocarp forest ecosystems.
