Activités de recherche

Mes recherches sur l’écologie des plantes et des lichens utilisent l’écologie fonctionnelle et l’écologie des communautés pour comprendre la biodiversité, la nutrition minérale et l’impact des perturbations. À l’Université de Caen-Normandie, j'étudie l'impact des vagues de chaleur sur les plantes des prairies et comment la diversité fonctionnelle et le métabolisme du soufre peuvent atténuer leur impact dans les communautés végétales. Mes recherches à l’UNICAEN sont financées par le programme Winning Normandy/Marie Skłodowska-Curie COFUND (2023-2025).
