fichierecologique.be – 3. Interpreting the indicator species of flora

FEE3

Période : Mai-juin 2026
Durée : 1 jour
Lieu : Différents sites en Wallonie
Nombre max : Max. 8 participants

Programme

Indicator flora can provide valuable information for interpreting the ecological conditions of a forest station. It allows us to identify characteristics relating to mineral wealth and humidity and potentially also to clarify the water and trophic levels of the Ecological Species Database, or to provide additional information in a soil survey.

Objectives

• Reconnaître les principales plantes indicatrices des régions visitées. • Interpréter un relevé floristique pour en déduire les principales caractéristiques de la station (richesse, approvisionnement en eau).

Method

A choice of several routes that correspond to the different contexts encountered by officers: Ardenne (Mirwart), Famenne-Calestienne (Rochefort), Condroz (Namur), etc. Different locations are selected to represent the main stations. Participants make a floristic list, the characteristics of which are linked to the mineral wealth and water supply of the station.
