Ceodes brownii
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Ceodes brownii faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to coastal development and agricultural expansion across its limited range in the Pacific islands. Invasive plant species compete directly with this native tree for resources and space, while rising sea levels and increased storm intensity from climate change threaten its coastal forest habitats. The species' extremely small population size makes it vulnerable to stochastic events and genetic bottlenecks.
Habitat
Ceodes brownii inhabits coastal forests and lowland tropical woodlands on Pacific islands, typically growing in well-drained soils near shorelines. The species prefers areas with partial shade and is often found in association with other native coastal vegetation.
