The California alder (Alnus rhombifolia) 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.

Planococcus rifietoensis is a motile, Gram-positive coccus first isolated from the Rifleto salt mine in Italy. It is halotolerant, capable of growing in moderately saline conditions and inhabits salt-influenced terrestrial environments. This aerobic chemoheterotroph breaks down organic compounds in its saline soil habitats.
