  1. Ecosystem investigationGroup 3 Biotic Factors

  2. Α.Organisms on LandB.Organisms in or near water

  3. Α.Biotic Factors on Land • Tree Layer • Shrub Layer • Field Layer ( herbs ) • Ground layer ( moss, lichen, fungi ) • Fauna

  4. Tree Layer We have witnessed many tree species. The most characteristic are: • Platanus Orientalis “Oriental Plane” • Salix alba “Willow” • Pinus halepensis “Aleppo Pine” • Cypressussempervirens “Cypress” • Cercis Siliquastrum “Judas Tree” • Oleaoleaster “wild olive tree”

  8. Shrub Layer We have witnessed the following species: • Nerium oleander “oleander” • Quercuscoccifera “Kermes oak” • Erica arborea “heath” • Cistusincanus “cistus” • Paliurusspina-christi “Christ’s thorn” • Juniperusoxycedrus “juniper” • Rubus idaeus “ Raspberry ” • Rosa canina “ Wild Rose ” • Vitex agnus-castus “ Vitex ’’

  13. Herb species • Thistle is the common name of a group of flowering plants characterised by leaves with sharp prickles on the margins, mostly in the family Asteraceae. Prickles often occur all over the plant – on surfaces such as those of the stem and flat parts of leaves.

  14. Urtica sp. Nettles constitute between 24 and 39 species of flowering plants of the genus Urtica in the family Urticaceae

  19. Helleboruscyclophyllus Hypecumimberbe Reseda alba Romuleabulbocodium Ruscusaculeatus

  20. Potentilla sp. Arum italicum Stellaria media Papaver sp.

  21. Ground Layer In wet and shady place we have noticed mosses forming big cushions on rocks or tree trunks. Of the course there was plenty and fungi lichens.
