RESEARCH THEMES

I am interested in the effects of biodiversity on forest functioning, and on the role of trees in urban and periurban environments.

My work is on green infrastructures and the effects of biodiversity on the functioning and resilience of forest ecosystems, both in the forest and in the city. My most current research makes use of controlled experiments (IDENT, TreeDivNet), simulations and long term field surveys (GFBi) to test the links between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in forest ecosystems. I am scientific coordinator of the International Diversity Experiment Network with Trees (IDENT), with already several experiments established in North America and Europe, s well as Africa, including urban environments (IDENT-Cité). I currently lead several research projects on the benefits of planting greater diversity in cities towards increased resilience.

Reserch interests: Forest Ecology; Urban Ecology; Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning; Forest plantations
