Biodiversity, Global change

I am a teacher-researcher at IMBE and Aix Marseille University, working in plant ecology on seed ecology (germination, dispersal, seed banks); on community assembly and the spatio-temporal dynamics of plant populations (functional traits, environmental gradients, risk dispersal strategies); and on the establishment and change of species pools at local to regional scales (niche modelling, neutral theory of biodiversity and biogeography).

i3REF project - Monitoring the impact of recent global warming on flora in the Mediterranean region

The i3REF project is studying the impact of climate change on plant biodiversity in the SUD region. To do this, the project has set up a vegetation monitoring network backed up by a network of Météo-France stations. This will enable detailed monitoring of the impact of climate change on flora at regional level.
