Styrax foveolaria
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Styrax foveolaria faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its limited range in Southeast Asian tropical forests. The species is particularly vulnerable due to its restricted distribution and specific habitat requirements, making populations susceptible to fragmentation from agricultural expansion and logging activities. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the moisture and temperature conditions essential for this forest understory species.
Habitat
Styrax foveolaria inhabits the understory of tropical rainforests and moist deciduous forests in Southeast Asia, typically growing in areas with high humidity and filtered sunlight. The species shows preference for well-drained soils on slopes and ridges within primary and secondary forest ecosystems.
