Syzygium slootenii
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Syzygium slootenii faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in Indonesian forests. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, while logging activities continue to reduce the quality of remaining forest patches. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that may affect the moist forest conditions this species requires.
Habitat
This endemic Indonesian species inhabits lowland and montane tropical rainforests, typically found in moist, well-drained soils within primary and secondary forest ecosystems. It occurs at elevations ranging from sea level to approximately 1,000 meters, preferring areas with consistent humidity and forest canopy cover.
