Coprosma reticulata
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Coprosma reticulata faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances, while invasive plant species compete for resources in its native forest habitats. Climate change poses additional pressure through altered precipitation patterns affecting the moist forest conditions this species requires.
Habitat
Coprosma reticulata inhabits moist montane forests and forest margins, typically occurring in areas with consistent moisture and partial shade. The species is adapted to specific elevation ranges where it grows as an understory shrub in native forest ecosystems.
