Nature Atlas
Claims this atlas currently marks as unsettled or as tested and found false. A debated fact is one scholars hold competing positions on; a debunked one has been checked against the record and found not to hold. Both are kept in view rather than quietly smoothed over, with the reasoning that put each one where it stands.

Estuary, Typical Low Temperature (C)13.000000
Estuary, Biomes
Standing
Concerns Typical Low Temperature (C)
Currently States 13.000000
13C is the low end of a single named example cited by the source, the Alan Estuary in England, not a global figure. Estuaries occur in every climate zone from tropical to Arctic wherever a river meets tidal water, and no single settled global range was found on an accessible source.

Standing
Concerns Typical High Temperature (C)
Currently States 17.000000
17C is the high end of the same single named example, the Alan Estuary in England, not a global figure; see this entity's temperature-low-c StatusNote for the same caveat.

Estuary, Annual Precipitation (mm)990.000000
Estuary, Biomes
Standing
Concerns Annual Precipitation (mm)
Currently States 990.000000
990mm is the source global ocean+land blended figure; the source does not isolate an estuary-specific figure. Estuaries occur on coastlines in every climate zone, so the same global ocean blend already used on the Marine and Open Ocean biome entities is applied here.

Eurasian Magpie, Population Estimate137000000.000000
Eurasian Magpie, Species
Standing
Concerns Population Estimate
Currently States 137000000.000000
The English Wikipedia article cites a global range rather than a single audited count (46 to 228 million individuals); a representative midpoint of the cited range is stored as the value, and the real range is preserved here so the spread is not lost.

Concerns Area (sq km)
Currently States 8600000.000000
Estimates for the Eurasian Steppe's total area vary widely by source, from roughly 4.9 million to 8.6 million square kilometers, depending on where the steppe's drier southern boundary against neighboring desert is drawn; this value is one commonly cited estimate, not a settled figure.

Standing
Concerns Typical High Temperature (C)
Currently States 23.900000
23.9C converts the source 75F summer figure. Fens range from boreal groundwater-fed peatlands to temperate lowland ones, so no single figure is fully meaningful; the general freshwater range already used on Freshwater and Wetlands is applied here.
