Ecosystem Fieldwork

Vegetation succession. Measurement of abiotic variables, distribution and abundance of plant species from pioneer zone to climax community.

The study includes a climax community problem-solving exercise. Option to consider modification of the coastal ecosystem by human activity.

Aspect, altitude, soil type and micro-climate and their effects on the structure, biomass and productivity of an Aleppo pine/Holm oak woodland.

The study can be developed to compare two Aleppo pine/Holm oak woodlands of different ages and focus on the effect of environmental factors and human activities in modifying succession.
