Euonymus serratifolius

Unknown

Overview

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

Euonymus serratifolius faces severe population decline primarily due to habitat destruction from agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range in East Asia. Deforestation for timber harvesting and conversion of native forests to monoculture plantations has fragmented remaining populations. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns and temperature shifts that affect the species' specialized forest ecosystem requirements.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species inhabits temperate deciduous and mixed forests in mountainous regions of East Asia, typically growing in understory environments with well-drained soils. It occurs at elevations between 500-1,500 meters in areas with moderate to high humidity and partial shade conditions.
