Colura cylindrica
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Colura cylindrica faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its tropical range, particularly affecting the humid forest environments where this liverwort thrives. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns and temperature increases that can disrupt the delicate moisture balance required for bryophyte survival. The species' dependence on specific microhabitat conditions makes it especially vulnerable to environmental changes that affect forest canopy structure and humidity levels.
Habitat
Colura cylindrica inhabits humid tropical forests, typically growing as an epiphyte on tree bark and branches in the forest canopy and understory. This liverwort requires consistently moist conditions and is found in areas with high humidity and filtered light, often in association with other bryophyte communities in pristine forest environments.
