A tree-related microhabitat (abbreviated as TreM) is a morphological feature present on a tree, which is used by sometimes highly specialized species during at least a part of their life cycle. Each associated species prefers a specific type of TreM.

In this project, we want to explore the link between the associated species and the TreM. Therefore we are asking the iNaturalist community for support!

Why are we doing it?
To reinforce biodiversity in a stand and thus improve its resilience, it makes sense to know which tree-related microhabitats are present and to preserve and favor them through adapted management practices. Also, the link between the associated species and the TreMs needs to be better explored to drow more sophisticated solutions for nature conservation in the future! less ↑
