Abstract

Bioclimatology is the basis for a better understanding of the functioning of animals and plants, together with populations and communities: this is why the study and interpretation of the bioclimatic indices is done here. For this, meteorological station data are used, but when such data are not available, it is necessary to use thermoclimatic and ombroclimatic bioindicators. The fundamental indices that should be taken into consideration are the index of continentality (Ic), which marks the annual thermic range by which the plant activity period (PAV) can be established; ombrothermic index (Io), which measures the ombrotype of the station; thermicity index and compensated thermicity index, which mark the territory’s thermotype (It/Itc). Based on the value of these indices and the presence or absence of bioindicators, we propose planning urban and agricultural development.
