  • Biodiversity in Wallonia
    Biodiversity in Wallonia Etienne BRANQUART,CatherineDEBRUYNE, Louis-Marie DELESCAILLE &PhilippeGOFFART 1. GENERAL OVERVIEW Wallonia occupies a privileged position in Europe. It is not only located at the crossroads of the Atlantic and Continental regions, but also exposed locally to Boreal and sub-Mediter- ranean influences. This specific location and the existence of a marked topographical, climatic and geological gradient are at the origin of a great diversity of habitats and species over a very small territory (16,844 km2). The diversity of abiotic conditions, together with the variety of past and present land use practices, make up the driving forces explaining current biodiversity. Nine biogeographical regions can be defined in Wallonia on the basis of landscape, climatic and soil conditions (see figure 1 and table 1). Each of them is characterised by specific land use practices and habitats. The `hennuyo-brabancËon' plateau corresponds to the area situated north of the Sambre and Meuse valleys. As its soil is made of a deep loamy and fertile layer, it is intensively used for agriculture and very few forests and extensive areas remain on this plateau. The southern part of the region is much more diversified and made of eight biogeographical areas. The soils are often shallow and contain different kinds of sedimentary rocks according to the region (e.g. limestone, sandstone and shale). The forest cover is still important as these areas are not suitable for intensive land use. 1 The main biogeographical regions in Wallonia (based on data from the Research Centre for Nature, Forests and Wood). 330 BIODIVERSITY OF THE REGIONS AND NORTH SEA Table 1.
