Lophozonia moorei

Clonal regeneration via coppicing is reported to be a common feature of most of the species subpopulations, while successful sexual regeneration is believed to be rare, occurring largely only in niches with high light levels and limited competition. There are concerns that coppicing may restrict a tree maturity and prevent gene flow between fractured populations (Schultz 2008) but this requires further investigation.

Accelerated climate change and the limited remaining suitable habitat, prevents the species expanding its range. While the ability to regenerate clonally may enable long-term persistence of the species, subpopulations are still likely to continue to decline as climatic conditions will increasingly favour sub-tropical and warm temperate species across much of the species northern distribution (Schultz 2008).

The pathogen Chalara australis has not been observed so far with this species (Veblen et al. 1996).

Two thirds of Nothofagus moorei dominated rainforest are within secure reserves in New South Wales and all of the approximate 700 hectares of the species forests in Queensland are within secure reserves. Reserves are not all national parks however, with some being forestry reserves where minor timber felling may occur (Schultz 2008). There are at least 22 ex situ collections of the species (BGCI, 2017). It is recommended that more investigation into the impact of climate change is taken for this species. Protection of this species against the impact of a warming climate should be investigated and mitigation actions taken.
