Julbernardia magnistipulata
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Julbernardia magnistipulata faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and charcoal production throughout its limited range in the miombo woodlands of central Africa. Selective logging targets this species for its valuable timber, while increasing human settlement leads to habitat fragmentation and degradation. The species' slow growth rate and specific soil requirements make recovery particularly challenging once populations are disturbed.
Habitat
This tree species is endemic to miombo woodlands on well-drained soils in central Africa, particularly favoring sandy and lateritic soils at elevations between 1000-1500 meters. It forms part of the dominant canopy in dry miombo ecosystems alongside other Julbernardia species and Brachystegia trees.
