Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Enterosora ecostata faces severe threats from deforestation and habitat fragmentation in its limited montane forest range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances, while climate change poses additional risks by altering the specific temperature and humidity conditions required for this epiphytic fern's survival.

Threat summary

Habitat

This epiphytic fern inhabits humid montane cloud forests, typically growing on tree trunks and branches in the understory and canopy layers. It requires specific microclimate conditions with high humidity and consistent moisture levels found in undisturbed tropical mountain forests.
