Dysoxylum championii
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Dysoxylum championii faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its native range in southern China and Southeast Asia. The species is particularly vulnerable to logging operations targeting its preferred lowland and hill forest habitats for timber extraction and agricultural conversion. Urban expansion and infrastructure development have further reduced available habitat, while the tree's valuable wood makes it a target for selective harvesting.
Habitat
Dysoxylum championii inhabits lowland and hill forests up to 800 meters elevation, typically found in primary and secondary tropical forests. The species prefers well-drained soils in mixed dipterocarp forests and is often associated with limestone substrates in its native range across southern China, Hong Kong, and parts of Southeast Asia.
