Eugenia fulva

Unknown

Overview

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

Eugenia fulva faces significant pressure from habitat conversion as Atlantic Forest fragments are cleared for agriculture and urban development. The species' restricted range makes it particularly vulnerable to localized disturbances, while its slow growth rate limits natural recovery from population declines. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that could affect the humid forest conditions this species requires.

Threat summary

Habitat

Eugenia fulva is endemic to the Atlantic Forest (Mata Atlântica) of southeastern Brazil, where it grows in humid montane forests and forest edges. The species typically occurs in well-drained soils of secondary and primary forest remnants at elevations between 500-1200 meters.
