- arrow_drop_downarrow_drop_upCollecting details
Collection 9404 was collected by H.J. Beker on 5th November 2003 in Miraflores, Madrid, SPAIN (approx. 40.8702°N, 3.7617°W, altitude approximately 1515 m above sea level - Google maps). The ectomycorrhizal family Cistaceae (genus Cistus) was present.
The surrounding habitat was described as Mediterranean, mixed woodland with a substrate of decomposed litter, 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 Iberian conifer 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).
