Eugenia sulcivenia
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Eugenia sulcivenia faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while selective logging targets the mature forest canopy where this endemic tree species thrives. Urban development and cattle ranching continue to reduce the remaining forest patches that support viable populations.
Habitat
This endemic tree species inhabits the remaining fragments of Brazil's Atlantic Forest (Mata Atlântica), typically found in mature lowland and montane rainforest ecosystems. It requires well-developed forest canopy structure and appears to be associated with specific soil conditions in undisturbed primary forest areas.
