- arrow_drop_downarrow_drop_upCollecting details
Collection 16688 was collected by T. Borgen (84.028) on 3rd August 1984 in Narsarsuaq, airport area, S, GREENLAND (approx. 61.08°N, 45.26°W, altitude approximately 20 m above sea level - Google maps). The ectomycorrhizal families Salicaceae (genus Salix) and Betulaceae (genus Betula) were present.
The surrounding habitat was described as boreal shrubland with a substrate of gravelly 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. 3.3: Shrubland – Boreal.
According to the GPS data the collection was in the Kalaallit Nunaat Arctic steppe 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).
