Ecology 2 - Structure of the rainforest (RA)
This workshop discusses the horizontal and vertical layout of the rain forest around the lodges. The reasons behind the stratification of the forest in levels (ground, understory, mid-canopy, canopy) are explored, as well as the properties inherent to each. Present habitats are also defined and visited: riverine forest, palm swamps, bamboo forests, tree fall gaps, terra firme forest, flooplain forest, etc.
