Elaeocarpus corneri
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Elaeocarpus corneri faces severe pressure from rapid deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in Southeast Asian lowland forests. The species' restriction to primary and mature secondary forests makes it particularly vulnerable to logging operations and palm oil plantation development. Urban development and infrastructure projects further fragment its already reduced habitat, while the species' apparent rarity and specialized ecological requirements limit its ability to adapt to degraded environments.
Habitat
Elaeocarpus corneri inhabits primary and mature secondary lowland rainforests, typically occurring in areas with rich, well-drained soils and high canopy cover. The species appears to prefer undisturbed forest environments at elevations below 500 meters, where it grows as an understory to mid-canopy tree.
