Thèmes de recherche
Mes travaux de recherche portent sur la caractérisation de la diversité fonctionnelle des systèmes racinaires de plantes herbacées sauvages ou cultivées, et plus particulièrement sur les liens existant entre les syndromes de traits fonctionnels des espèces et leur capacité à faire face à des contraintes abiotique (déficit en P et N, sécheresse) et des contraintes biotiques (interaction plante-plante). Ils visent à améliorer notre connaissance du fonctionnement des couverts plurispécifiques ou plurivariétaux qu’ils soient naturels ou cultivés.
Cette thématique générale de recherche s'organise autour de trois axes principaux :

Principaux thèmes de recherche
Mes travaux portent sur la caractérisation de la diversité fonctionnelle des végétaux et de son impact sur le fonctionnement des écosystèmes. Je m’intéresse plus particulièrement à l’analyse des relations de compétition inter-spécifique entre végétaux et de leurs fluctuations entre communautés.
