Eugenia percrenata
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Eugenia percrenata faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and urban development throughout its limited range in Brazil's Atlantic Forest region. Habitat fragmentation has isolated remaining populations, reducing genetic diversity and limiting natural regeneration. The species' specialized ecological requirements make it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes, while its restricted distribution leaves little room for population recovery.
Habitat
This endemic Brazilian species inhabits remnant Atlantic Forest fragments, typically found in humid montane forests and forest edges at elevations between 800-1,200 meters. It grows in well-drained soils within the understory and canopy gaps of these highly threatened forest ecosystems.
