Justine Laoué

As a holder of a PhD in ecology, I am interested in plant biology, particularly physiology and chemical processes, with a view to understanding the impact of climate change on forest ecosystems. My research focuses primarily on how these ecosystems respond to drought, through ecophysiological, chemical and morpho-anatomical monitoring, as well as on the interactions between vegetation, soil and soil organisms under water stress conditions.

I am currently an engineer at the Haute-Provence Observatory and attached to the IMBE. My responsibilities include the scientific and instrumental monitoring of the O3HP experimental site, carrying out ecophysiological measurements, and the deployment, monitoring and maintenance of the instrumented devices. I am also involved in the monitoring, management and utilisation/dissemination of the scientific data collected at the site.
