- arrow_drop_downarrow_drop_upCollecting details
Collection 1000021 was collected by G. Zschieschang, det: F. Gröger on 25th September 1976 in Bleichteiche, Herrnhut, Free State of Saxony, GERMANY (approx. 51.0171°N, 14.7313°E, altitude approximately 330 m above sea level - Google maps). The ectomycorrhizal families Betulaceae (genus Alnus) and Salicaceae (genus Salix) were present.
The surrounding habitat was described as willow thicket with a substrate of boggy soil, corresponding to the IUCN habitat We map from the collector's description of the habitat to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)'s definition using a standardised set of rules. Please see this page for a full list of IUCN habitats. 5.3: Wetlands (inland) – Shrub dominated wetlands.
According to the GPS data the collection was in the Western European broadleaf forests WWF ecoregion The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) have divided the world into 867 terrestrial ecoregions. The ecoregion here is estimated by mapping from the GPS coordinates of the collection using data made available by Dinerstein et al (2017).
