I am a PhD student in RECOVER – EMR, the unit research in Mediterranean ecosystems and risks of the national institute of research in science and technology for environment and agriculture (IRSTEA). My doctoral research is to be defended in June 2018 and is funded by half scholarship from the PACA region. My interests bear on landscape ecology and particularly on land use / land cover change and its effect on vascular plants. In partnership with researchers at the Mediterranean Institute of marine and terrestrial Biodiversity and Ecology (IMBE – AMU/CNRS/IRD) and managers of the Luberon regional nature park (PNRL), my current research focuses on forest cover change since 1860 in the PNRL and its drivers, and the relationship between forest temporal continuity and the spatial distribution of vascular plants and their life-history traits, and forest soil characteristics. My background is in life science and ecology (Bachelor) and ecological management (Master).
