- arrow_drop_downarrow_drop_upCollecting details
Collection 14270 was collected by H.J. Beker on 22nd November 2013 in Fango Forest, Corsica, FRANCE (42.3674°N, 8.746°E, altitude approximately 295 m above sea level - Google maps). The ectomycorrhizal family Cistaceae (genus Cistus) was present.
The surrounding habitat was described as maquis, 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. 3.8: Shrubland – Mediterranean-type shrubby vegetation.
According to the GPS data the collection was in the Corsican montane broadleaf and mixed 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).
