Ecosystem of the Plot

Biocenosis:

This plot is teeming with life, offering a habitat that is both welcoming and demanding for soil organisms. The west-facing orientation can make clayey soils drier. Despite this, the presence of spontaneous vegetation provides an abundant source of organic matter, enriching the soil.

Biotope:

The diversity of soils in this vineyard plot is striking. On the surface, clay mixed with iron oxides gives the soil a light orange tint, while deeper down, there is hard chalk and a few flints. At an even greater depth, the bedrock is principally composed of hard limestone.
