TU Non-core Ecology: A field trip to the Massif de La Gardiole
The aim of TU Non-Core Mediterranean Ecosystems is to discover Mediterranean terrestrial environments, their diversity, dynamics and history.
A refreshing excursion to discover the local flora and fauna.
As part of this internship, we set off by car for the Massif de la Gardiole on December 10, 2022. Pr. Christophe Petit & Pr. Vincent Girard from ISEM (Institut des Sciences de l'Evolution de Montpellier) took us on an excursion to observe various bird species typical of Mediterranean seashores. Later, while strolling through the Gardiole, we were able to identify plant species specific to this environment. Finally, we learned the basics of dendrochronology, the scientific method of dating tree rings.
