Associations and plant species and bioclimatic indicators. Climatic and bioclimatic parameters with the greatest impact on productivity of the olive grove. Bioclimatic diagrams analysis: application to the soil water balance. 2. bioclimatic models applied to the olive grove. Botanical ecological basis for the choice of varieties. Bioclimatic values for the most frequent varieties of olive tree in Spain. Biogeography and bioclimatology where olive growing in the world is possible.

 

II : BIOINDICATORS SOIL AND COVERS . 3. Abiotic factors to be taken into account in the cultivation of olive trees. Soil, light, temperature, evapotranspiration, water, slope, stoniness, bioclimatic, frost. 4. Notions of phytosociology. Phytosociological method. Eurea, stoically and associations. Phytosociological inventory as a working unit. How does a phytosociological inventory is done? 5. Main phytosociological classes listed in Andalusian olive groves. Study of the most representative plant associations. Taxa and Syntaxa  that act as biomarkers in the olive grove. Plant associations of olive indicator of soil nutrients. Management of soil types and their relationship with plants. Coevolution between vegetation and soil. Biological indicators of soil type and fertility status of these. 6.
