Ecological studies

Wildlife inventory

The wildlife inventory aims to verify and quantify the presence of deer, moose, bears, moles, voles, mice, shrews, amphibians, reptiles, birds, fish, and of invertebrates.

As part of a wildlife inventory, the biologists and specialized technicians of Avizo Experts-Conseils use different techniques such as electric or net fishing, active excavation, the installation of a listening station or the on-site observation.

Floristic inventory

Similar to the wildlife inventory, the floristic inventory makes it possible to identify the plant species present on a site. Surveys should take place throughout the growing season (spring and summer).

Native and exotic plants present on the site will be identified. Particular attention will be paid to the identification of threatened or vulnerable species and those with a special status.

We will identify forest stands, these groups of homogeneous trees that are distinguished from neighboring groups.

If necessary, an ecoforestry map will be drawn up.

The floristic inventory will specify the quality, quantity, diversity and rarity of the plant species present on the site, but also the chemical, physical and biological characteristics of the soil.

Our specialized professionals respect the methodologies and protocols for identifying and characterizing flora and fauna of government authorities such as the ministère de l’Environnement, de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques, de la Faune et des Parcs (MELCCFP), the ministère des Ressources naturelles des Forêts (MRNF) and the Pêches et Océans Canada (DFO-MPO).
