Eugenia arianae

Unknown

Overview

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

Eugenia arianae faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to urban expansion and agricultural conversion in its limited range. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances, while invasive plant species compete for resources in its native forest fragments. Climate change poses additional pressure through altered precipitation patterns affecting the humid forest conditions this endemic species requires.

Threat summary

Habitat

Eugenia arianae is endemic to humid montane forests and forest edges in restricted areas of Brazil. The species typically occurs in well-preserved Atlantic Forest remnants at moderate to high elevations where it grows as an understory shrub or small tree.
