THÉMATIQUES DE RECHERCHE


Nous cherchons à comprendre quelles plantes poussent où et pourquoi. Nous étudions les traits fonctionnels des plantes afin de comprendre et prédire comment la végétation s’adapte aux changements environnementaux. Nous développons des approches de télédétection de la biodiversité végétale pour guider la conservation.

Mots-clés: Écologie fonctionnelle végétale • Écologie des communautés et écosystèmes terrestres • Spectranomique • Télédétection de la biodiversité végétale • Interactions plante-sol
