Alder

The Alder (Alnus glutinosa) is a species in the genus Alnus. It is currently classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. Typically found in diverse terrestrial habitats from tropical forests to temperate regions.

This chemoheterotroph degrades complex aromatic and aliphatic organic compounds in temperate forest soil environments.
