Psidium grazielae
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Psidium grazielae faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and cattle ranching activities that fragment and destroy its native Cerrado habitat. Urban development and infrastructure projects further reduce available habitat, while the species' limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats. Fire regimes altered by human activities pose additional risks to remaining populations.
Habitat
This endemic Brazilian species inhabits Cerrado savanna ecosystems, particularly areas with well-drained soils and scattered woody vegetation. It occurs in gallery forests and woodland margins within the Cerrado biome of central Brazil.
