FORMATION
  • Postdoctorat en écophysiologie végétale, 1988 (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)
  • Ph.D. en écologie forestière et pédologie, 1986 (Université Laval)

THÈMES DE RECHERCHE

I'm studying the ecophysiology of woody plant species of northeastern America. The following topics summarize my present interests: relationships between soil fertility and hardwood forest species composition, determination of nutritional standards for hardwoods ecology of earthworms in hardwood forests, forest nutrient cycling, tracing of heavy metals in trees and forests.
