Habitat and Ecology [top] Habitat and Ecology: This species grows in lowland forest up to 200 m altitude. Systems: Terrestrial Threats [top] Major Threat(s): The fungi-infected heartwood, characteristic of all members of the genus, has high commercial value in the production of incense, perfume and traditional medicine. Numerous trees are cut down, many uninfected, to harvest just a few kilograms of the diseased wood. The increase in levels of trade over the past decade has resulted in overexploitation throughout its range. Citation: World Conservation Monitoring Centre. 1998. Aquilaria microcarpa.
