Virola crebrinervia
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Virola crebrinervia faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in the Amazon Basin. The species is particularly vulnerable due to its restricted distribution and slow growth rate typical of large rainforest trees. Logging operations targeting valuable timber species in its habitat pose an additional direct threat, while fragmentation of remaining forest patches reduces population connectivity and genetic diversity.
Habitat
Virola crebrinervia inhabits lowland tropical rainforests of the Amazon Basin, typically growing in well-drained soils of terra firme forests. The species occurs in primary forest canopy and forest edges, preferring areas with consistent moisture and rich organic soils.
