Je suis un écologue fonctionnel, je cherche à mieux comprendre la réponse du fonctionnement des écosystèmes terrestres aux changements globaux. Mes activités de recherche sont tournées vers les réponses des cycles du carbone (C) et de l'azote (N), en lien avec la physiologie de la plante, principalement sur les thèmes suivants :

• Effets des régimes de précipitations sur les interactions plante-sol ;
• Relations entre diversité végétale et fonctionnement des écosystèmes: eau source pour les plantes, cycles du C et du N, émissions de gaz à effet de serre.

J'utilise des approches expérimentales isotopiques (isotopes stables ¹³C, ¹⁸O, ¹⁵N), de microbiologie moléculaire, d'écophysiologie et de biogéochimie.
