Eugenia regia
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Eugenia regia faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range in the Atlantic Forest region. Habitat fragmentation has isolated remaining populations, reducing genetic diversity and limiting natural regeneration. The species' slow growth rate and specific soil requirements make recovery particularly challenging once suitable habitat is lost.
Habitat
Eugenia regia is endemic to remnant Atlantic Forest fragments, typically occurring in well-drained soils of montane and submontane forests. The species shows preference for forest edges and secondary growth areas within its highly fragmented range.
