Présentation

My research focuses on the functional ecology of soil-plant interactions in herbaceous ecosystems and agroecosystems. It is interdisciplinary and involves both in ecology, agronomy and soil sciences by combining conceptual and applied researches.

It contributes to the development of agroecology by studying practices and cropping systems through the integration of the functional trait approach. This approach allows characterizing ecosystem processes and services by quantifying the response and effect of plants with respect to soil properties and agrosystem management practices.

The challenge of this research is to improve the understanding of plant responses to ecological factors (soil and climate factors) to unravel the complexity of plant-soil interactions (notably plant-soil feedback processes), and plant-plant interactions for the management of cropping systems. Recent researches have highlighted the key role of functional traits and their diversity in the phosphorus availability and acquisition, the reducing erosion and soil compaction.

More recently, I integrate my expertise in transdisciplinary research, integrating different types of stakeholders (academic and non-academic) from territories and/or the industry in order to generate collective intelligence and provide solutions based on living organisms with respect to societal expectations.
