- arrow_drop_downarrow_drop_upCollecting details
Collection 12116 was collected by R. Newton on 16th October 2007 in Les Espagnols, Alpes-Maritimes, FRANCE (43.5089°N, 6.7935°E, altitude approximately 200 m above sea level - Google maps). The ectomycorrhizal family Salicaceae (genera Populus and Salix) was present.
The surrounding habitat was described as mixed woodland with a substrate of bare 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. 1.4: Forest – Temperate.
According to the GPS data the collection was in the Northeast Spain and Southern France Mediterranean 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).
