Ulmus chenmoui
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Ulmus chenmoui faces severe population decline primarily due to habitat destruction from agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range in China. The species is particularly vulnerable to Dutch elm disease, which has devastated elm populations globally, and climate change is altering the montane forest conditions it requires for survival.
Habitat
Ulmus chenmoui inhabits montane deciduous forests and mixed woodland areas at elevations between 1,000-2,500 meters in southwestern China. The species typically grows in well-drained soils along forest edges and in secondary growth areas within its restricted geographic range.
