HydroBASINS lev08 watershed · #2080377580
Bassin de Werse
A watershed (drainage basin) is not a body of water — it is the land area where rainfall converges towards a single river that eventually reaches the sea (or an endorheic basin). Boundaries follow ridgelines.

Ecological tissue
Sample of 34 species (selected proportionally per kingdom among those with at least one documented interaction here) to keep the graph readable. Hover for details, click to explore the full ecosystem of a species.
ℹ️ The territory contains many more species than displayed and all their documented interactions: the graph is intentionally the structural skeleton (top-N species by composite local score, edges filtered by Serrano 2009 disparity filter α=0.2).
Indicateurs du tissu écologique
Tissu écologique de Bassin de Werse : 20 espèces dont 1 patrimoniale (LR IUCN CR/EN/VU) reliées par 135 interactions GloBI sur 6 types (connectance 20.3%, filtre Serrano α=0.2). 17 bulles taxonomiques (cascade genre/famille GloBI, ≥3 espèces).
