Graduate of a PhD in ecophysiology and plant ecology, I am interested in plant functioning, particularly in forest ecosystems. I have specialized in belowground interactions (root-root and root-microorganisms such as mycorrhizae) both to describe processes of facilitation (nutrient transfer) or competition by exploitation (in particular for nitrogen resources) and by interference (allelopathy). During a first postdoctoral fellowship, I was interested in the effects of forest management on carbon fluxes and stocks in the different compartments of the forest.  My work aims to characterize the functioning of plants and the management mode in order to optimize the sustainability of ecosystems in a changing climate context. The main thread of my research is, through the understanding of underground processes, to put the various functional traits of plants at the service of the environment.
