Elaeocarpus glandulifer
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Elaeocarpus glandulifer faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its limited range in Southeast Asian tropical forests. Agricultural expansion, particularly oil palm plantations and logging operations, has fragmented the remaining forest patches where this tree species occurs. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction, with many populations now isolated in small forest remnants.
Habitat
This species inhabits lowland and hill tropical rainforests, typically found in primary and mature secondary forests at elevations up to 800 meters. It grows in the forest understory and canopy layers, preferring areas with high humidity and consistent rainfall patterns characteristic of Southeast Asian dipterocarp forests.
