Glochidion moorei

Declining

Overview

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

Glochidion moorei faces severe pressure from habitat destruction as its native forest ecosystems are cleared for agricultural development and urban expansion. The species' limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, with small population fragments becoming increasingly isolated. Invasive plant species compete for resources and alter the understory conditions that this endemic tree requires for successful regeneration.

Threat summary

Habitat

Glochidion moorei inhabits tropical and subtropical moist forests, typically found in understory and mid-canopy positions within primary and secondary forest ecosystems. The species shows preference for well-drained soils in areas with consistent moisture and partial shade conditions.
