The Sonian Forest is a complex ecosystem at the landscape level. At this spot, these wet grasslands and ponds are a ‘micro-ecosystem’, with many various species: in spring you will hear frogs singing and see quite a lot of insects as this is an open space with a lot of light.

We could even go to a more granular level and look at a tree trunk as an ecosystem hosting various insect species and microscopic animals living in it.
