Description
ORPAL is an ecology course in APP (1/3 field and 2/3 laboratory work). Based on concepts and methods of Ecology, this course aims at discovering historical ecology (study of the interactions between Man and his environment over variable chronological periods) and the main applications in paleoecology, from the definition of the problem, sampling in the field, data acquisition to the interpretation and writing of a scientific article (see https://biologie-e cologie.com/exemples-travaux/). This course is an interesting theoretical and experimental prerequisite for the ACCES, CEPAGE, PALEONTOLOGY, ECOSYSTEMS or BIOGET courses.
