Location vs habitat

  • DKpierce by DKpierce

    On this label, is" by the bridge over the river" etc. part of location or habitat?

    I would put 'open field and woods' in habitat and 'Belle Meade. by bridge over... etc.' in location. On many labels, it's difficult to decide where to divide between these two categories of information. There are some guidelines in the Herbarium FAQ ( http://blog.notesfromnature.org/2015/04/14/updated-faq-and-useful-tools-herbarium-interface/ ) but it can't address all the possibilities so in most cases, you just have to use your judgement.

    I agree with am.zooni (trying to help build a consensus here).
