Eugenia sulcatifolia
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Eugenia sulcatifolia 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' specialized ecological requirements make it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes, while its slow growth rate hampers recovery efforts in degraded areas.
Habitat
This endemic species occurs in remnant Atlantic Forest fragments, typically in humid montane forests and forest edges at elevations between 800-1,200 meters. It shows preference for well-drained soils in areas with consistent moisture and partial canopy cover.
