Dipteronia dyeriana
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Dipteronia dyeriana faces severe population decline primarily due to habitat destruction from agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range in central China. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, with remaining populations fragmented by infrastructure development and intensive farming practices. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the temperate forest conditions this endemic maple requires for survival.
Habitat
This endemic Chinese maple inhabits temperate deciduous forests and mixed woodlands in mountainous regions of central China, typically growing on slopes and in valleys at moderate elevations. The species requires well-drained soils and the specific climatic conditions found in its native temperate forest ecosystem.
