- arrow_drop_downarrow_drop_upCollecting details
Collection 14445 was collected by M. Smith on 1st April 2000 in Southern Tablelands, Kosciuszko Maat Park. Just off Kings Cross Rd between Mt Selwyn Ski Resort and Cabramurra , New South Wales, AUSTRALIA (35.9294°S, 148.4158°E, altitude approximately 1505 m above sea level - Google maps). The ectomycorrhizal family Myrtaceae (genus Eucalyptus) was present.
The surrounding habitat was described as subalpine woodland with a substrate of 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. 1.1: Forest – Boreal.
According to the GPS data the collection was in the Australian Alps montane grasslands 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).
