- arrow_drop_downarrow_drop_upCollecting details
Collection 18247 was collected by H.J. Beker, L. Davies on 25th September 2018 in Prudhomme lake, near Prince Rupert, British Columbia, CANADA (54.2403°N, 130.1343°W, altitude approximately 35 m above sea level - Google maps). The ectomycorrhizal family Pinaceae (genus Tsuga) was present.
The surrounding habitat was described as coniferous woodland pathside 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. 1.4: Forest – Temperate.
According to the GPS data the collection was in the Central Pacific Northwest coastal 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).
