Psidium rostratum
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Psidium rostratum faces significant pressure from habitat conversion as coastal and lowland forests are cleared for agricultural development and urban expansion. The species' limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, while invasive plant species compete for resources in its native habitat. Climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns that could affect the specific moisture conditions this guava species requires.
Habitat
Psidium rostratum inhabits coastal forests and lowland tropical woodlands, typically growing in well-drained soils with consistent moisture. The species is adapted to the specific microclimate conditions found in these coastal and near-coastal environments.
