Asplenium complanatum
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Asplenium complanatum faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to deforestation and agricultural expansion in its limited range. The species is particularly vulnerable to changes in microclimate conditions within its forest habitat, as epiphytic ferns require specific humidity and light levels to survive. Urban development and infrastructure projects pose additional pressures on the remaining populations of this critically endangered fern.
Habitat
This epiphytic fern inhabits humid tropical forests, typically growing on tree trunks and branches in shaded understory environments. It requires consistent moisture levels and filtered light conditions found in mature forest ecosystems.
