- arrow_drop_downarrow_drop_upCollecting details
Collection 11973 was collected by J. Sandmo on 13th August 2007 in Bjorndalen, SVALBARD (78.2482°N, 15.4055°E, altitude approximately 20 m above sea level - Google maps). The ectomycorrhizal family Salicaceae (genus Salix) was present.
The surrounding habitat was described as arctic tundra pastureland with a substrate of acidic 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. 4.1: Grassland – Tundra.
According to the GPS data the collection was in the Koppen climate code ET (Polar, tundra).
