Hydrography

Busserolles is located on the Trieux , a left tributary of the Tardoire . In addition, the Ruisseau la Planche and the Ruisseau de l'Étang Grolhier - smaller left tributaries of the Trieux - also cross the municipality . The Ruisseau de l'Étang Grolhier is dammed up into a larger reservoir, the Étang Grolhier , and at the same time forms an important bird sanctuary. The Tardoire is the border river to the Charente department, the Trieux partially delimits the municipality from the neighboring municipalities of Maisonnais-sur-Tardoire and Champniers-et-Reilhac.

The general direction of drainage is to the west or south-west.

geology

Light gray porphyry micro-granite of the northern satellite micro-granite massif

The municipality of Busserolles is completely underlain by Variscan basement rocks of the northwestern Massif Central . These include metamorphic rocks such as paragneiss and the metatexites that emerged from them - to be seen in the north and north-west sections. The regional strike direction of the metamorphic rocks is northeast with an angle of incidence of 30 to 60 ° to the northwest.

The deep rocks include the Piégut-Pluviers-Granodiorit , which occupies the entire southern half of the municipality. It usually appears in its coarse-grained normal facies ( γ 3M ), but can also occur in its fine-grained edge and roof facies ( f γ 3M ) and in Malègue in its porphyry facies ( p γ 3M ).

Associated with the granodiorite is its northern apophysis, which is formed as a porphyry micro- granite ( μ γ 3M ). This appendage is only separated from the actual granodiorite massif by a very thin layer of paragneiss not far north of the center of Busserolles. The septum leaves the regional north-east strike and turns to the east - with a very steep dip (by 80 °) to the north.

In the far east near Le Fraisse , the Saint-Mathieu leukogranite with its fine-grain facies is still standing ( Champniers-Reilhac leucogranite - γ 2 ). Two large Roussines leucogranite shear lenses with a north-westerly strike direction are inserted into it . Spatially separated from this, in the valley of the Tardoire on the northwestern edge, the Champniers-Reilhac leuco granite appears again as large, north-north-east to north-east trending shear strains in metatexites near Villautrange and La Forge de Lavallade .

Numerous disturbances pervade the granitoids. Their strike direction is mostly north-northwest, north or north-northeast. Quartz veins or lenses ( Q ) also make use of these directions, flocking arranged like microgranite transitions in leucogranite ( microns .gamma. ) but generally follow the north-northwest direction. At Villautrange , a northwest trending lamprophyre dike cuts through the metamorphic rocks .

The high altitudes north of Le Grand Vilotte and northeast of Chez Giraudeau are covered by Pleistocene colluvium (formation HC ), which masks the underlying basement. Post-glacial Holocene river sands with small quartz and basement rubble were deposited in the floodplains of the Tardoire and Trieux ( Fy-z formation ).

Ecology and environment

The Étang Grolhier

Natural park

Protected areas

The valleys of the Tardoire, the Trieux and the Ruisseau de l'Étang Grolhier form an ecological protection zone in the municipal area, especially because of their flora and water quality; in French , these areas are classified under the name Vallées du réseau hydrographique de la Tardoire et du Trieux as a continental ZNIEFF (Zone d'interêt écologique, faunistique et floristique) of type 1.

The Étang Grolhier in the southeast has been designated as an ecotope to be protected (French site naturel ) since 1979 .

history

Evidence of the Gallo-Roman culture is available in Busserolles . The Romanesque local church was built in the 12th century.

Since 1790, the municipality of Busserolles has belonged to the canton of Bussière-Badil, which was initially only called the canton of Bussière and which belonged to the district of Nontron until 1795.
