Abstract: |
The third teaching unit (DE3) of the book aims to introduce the reader to the effects of the substrate (parent rock and soil) on the growth of vegetation, as elements of the abiotic dimension of ecosystems. The important groups of rocks are described according to the conditions of their creation, i.e. igneous or eruptive, sedimentary and metamorphic or schistose. For each of these groups, the most important rocks and mineralogical features are described, with an emphasis on those most commonly found in Greece. Finally, the physicochemical characteristics of the soils are described, as well as the effect of the physiographic relief (altitude, slope, exposure) on the ecosystems.
