Research interests

The major part of my research activities focuses on the relations between plant community diversity and environmental gradients. I explore the determinism of diversity patterns along landscape, agriculture, disturbance, invasion and soil gradients in forest and agro-systems.

Key words

Plant community, biological diversity, landscape ecology, environmental gradients, invasive species, Prunus serotina, Drosophila suzukii, plant-insect interaction, forest, agro-system, time and spatial patterns.

Recent or current projects

Forest metacommunities and climatic gradients (METAFOR, smallFOREST, FLEUR network)
Dynamics of agro-resources in the bay of Somme (Littagro, COMORES)
Dynamics of invasive species (Prunus serotina, Drosophila suzukii, ANR submitted)

Teaching

Disciplines: botany, mycology, population, community and landscape ecology, plant biology, ecosystem dynamics.
Levels and departments: Masters in the Faculties of Pharmacy and Science.
