Cyclosorus sino-acuminata
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Cyclosorus sino-acuminata faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its native range across southern China and Southeast Asia. The species is particularly vulnerable to forest clearance for agricultural expansion and urban development, which fragments the moist, shaded environments essential for its survival. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering precipitation patterns and temperature regimes in the montane forests where this fern typically occurs.
Habitat
This fern species inhabits moist, shaded understory environments in tropical and subtropical montane forests, typically growing on forest floors and along stream banks. It requires consistent humidity and filtered light conditions found in intact forest ecosystems at elevations between 200-1,500 meters.
