Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Carpinus putoensis faces severe population decline due to extensive deforestation and habitat conversion in its native range of eastern China. The species is particularly vulnerable to logging operations and agricultural expansion that have fragmented its forest habitat. Urban development and infrastructure projects have further reduced available habitat, while the species' limited distribution makes it especially susceptible to localized threats.
Habitat
This hornbeam species inhabits temperate deciduous forests and mixed woodlands in mountainous regions of eastern China. It typically grows in well-drained soils on slopes and valleys within its restricted range.
