Syzygium erythranthum
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Syzygium erythranthum faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its limited range in Southeast Asian tropical forests. Agricultural expansion, particularly oil palm plantations and logging operations, continues to fragment and reduce the species' remaining forest habitat. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction, while climate change may alter the specific moisture and temperature conditions required for its survival.
Habitat
This species inhabits lowland and hill tropical rainforests, typically found in primary forest environments with high humidity and consistent moisture levels. It occurs in both coastal and inland forest systems, preferring areas with rich, well-drained soils and dense canopy cover.
