- arrow_drop_downarrow_drop_upCollecting details
Collection 1000394 was collected by N.S. Atri (NSA23), det: R. Singer on 28th August 1979 in Summer Hill, Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, INDIA (approx. 31.1146°N, 77.1399°E, altitude approximately 1985 m above sea level - Google maps). The ectomycorrhizal family Pinaceae (genus Cedrus) was present.
The surrounding habitat was described as montane, subtropical woodland with a substrate of soil and litter, 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. 1.9: Forest – Subtropical/tropical moist montane.
According to the GPS data the collection was in the Western Himalayan 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).
