IBISCA-Auvergne 63 
Period : 2008/2010
Site:
Forêt de la Comté d’Auvergne (Puy-de-Dôme,
Auvergne, France)
IBISCA-Auvergne
 | will follow IBISCA modus operandi which is
based on a combination of (1) international collaboration including
ecologists, taxonomists, students and skilled amateurs; (2) a set of
common research questions; and (3) an integrated experimental
design. The large-scale approach includes complementary techniques
of canopy access, diverse botanical and zoological sampling
protocols, a large number of focal taxa, substantial spatial and
temporal replication, large numbers of experts working
simultaneously in the field, as well as large numbers of taxonomic
specialists studying the material collected and analyzing the
associated distribution data. |
| will bring in some novelties : (1) broadening
of the spectra of studied taxa ; (2) applicating the IBISCA modus
operandi conceived to study the biodiversity of tropical forests
to a temperate deciduous one, and (3) (as a consequence of point
(2)) including the human impact dimension, all european forests
being the result of a long-term interaction between Homo sapiens
and its environment, between « nature » and
« culture ». |
