THÈMES DE RECHERCHE

Nicole Fenton est titulaire de la Chaire industrielle CRSNG-UQAT sur la biodiversité en contexte minier .

Fonctions écosystèmiques de bryophytes
Les bryophytes sont omniprésentes dans le milieu boréal, et peuvent grandement influencer les fonctions écosystèmiques (p.ex. cycle d’éléments nutritifs, et de l’eau) des systèmes boréaux. Par contre, nos connaissances sur ces impacts sont naissante, et leurs implications dans l’aménagement forestier est encore moins connu. La docteure Fenton mène des projets de recherche qui vont permettre de mieux comprendre le rôle des bryophytes dans les processus des écosystèmes boréaux, et de prédire comment leurs impacts interagissent avec nos aménagements.

L’écologie des bryophytes en paysages naturels et aménagés
Nos connaissances sur l’écologie des bryophytes forestières en Amérique du Nord est encore en développement. La docteure Fenton œuvre dans ce domaine pour bien comprendre les dynamiques des communautés dans des milieux une variété de milieux, autant au niveau du site ou peuplement qu’au niveau du paysage.

Les tourbières : toute une histoire

Le podcast "Les tourbières : toute une histoire" est la prolongation d'une exposition mêlant art et vulgarisation scientifique. Il a été réalisé dans le cadre du projet "Atlas de biodiversité : les milieux humides" qui a pour but de vulgariser les données de la recherche produite à l'Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue (UQAT, Québec).

Les tourbières sont d'importants écosystèmes qui abritent une grande biodiversité et qui sont indispensables pour le stockage du carbone à l'échelle planétaire. C'est une invitation à venir découvrir les trésors de la nature et les merveilleuses espèces vivantes qui se cachent dans nos tourbières.

Nicole Fenton prend donc la parole pour nous dévoiler les coulisses de ce projet. Comment est-il né ? Quels étudiant.e.s sont impliqués ? Quel est l'intérêt d'un tel projet ? Les réponses à ces questions et bien d'autres seront données dans cet épisode. Bonne écoute!
