Guioa pauciflora

Unknown

Overview

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

Guioa pauciflora faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its limited range in Southeast Asian tropical forests. Agricultural expansion, particularly oil palm plantations and subsistence farming, has fragmented its remaining forest habitat. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction, while selective logging operations further degrade the forest canopy structure essential for this tree species.

Threat summary

Habitat

This tropical tree species inhabits lowland and hill dipterocarp forests, typically found in primary and mature secondary forests at elevations up to 800 meters. It grows in the forest understory and canopy layers, preferring well-drained soils in areas with high humidity and consistent rainfall patterns.
