Coccoloba matudae
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Coccoloba matudae faces significant pressure from agricultural expansion and urban development throughout its limited range in Central America. Deforestation for cattle ranching and crop cultivation has fragmented its coastal and lowland forest habitats. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction and climate-related changes affecting coastal ecosystems.
Habitat
This species inhabits coastal forests, lowland tropical forests, and forest edges in Central America. It typically grows in well-drained soils near coastlines and in transitional zones between different forest types.
