Résumé de la thèse

Soil compaction is a major cause of forest soil alteration, via reduced soil porosity and consequently it alters internal biological activities. The thesis aims at assessing the resilience of soil-vegetation systems to compaction. The study site are located in one of North France forests (forêt domaniale de Compiègne) exhibiting different management practices. In the forest of Compiègne, a LiDAR coverage as well as historical maps of paths are already available. These data will facilitate the selection of a chronosequence, with recent and ancient paths. Our objective will be achieved by the assessment of soil characteristics and performance. Therefore, this project is divided to three axis: i) geo-ecological (treatment of LiDAR image concerning soil compaction), ii) physico-chemical (soil CO₂ flux, soil aeration, penetration resistance, bulk density, porosity) and iii) bio-physiological (earthworms and plants performance).
