Syzygium micranthum
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Syzygium micranthum faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in Southeast Asian lowland forests. Urban development and palm oil plantations have fragmented remaining populations, while logging operations continue to degrade the species' preferred humid forest habitats. Climate change compounds these pressures by altering rainfall patterns essential for this moisture-dependent tree species.
Habitat
This species inhabits humid lowland tropical forests and forest margins in Southeast Asia, typically occurring in areas with consistent moisture and well-drained soils. It is found in both primary and secondary forest habitats at elevations from sea level to approximately 800 meters.
