Technician-INRAE
As the lead technical manager, I am responsible for the "tree" component of the experimental instrumented agroforestry workshop at La Bouzule (54). This workshop is part of the national AnaEE France network. Since 2020, recurring funding for the workshop has been provided by INRAE's EcoDIV department and INRAE's Research Infrastructure Delegation (DISC). Its aim is to understand the added value of interactions between woody species and field crops (mixtures of nitrogen-fixing trees/non-fixing trees, nitrogen-fixing trees/non-fixing crops, and non-fixing trees/nitrogen-fixing crops), in order to reduce inputs through the complementarity of the different species.

Area of expertise:

  • Agroforestry
  • Tree ecophysiology
  • Pedoclimatic monitoring
  • Biomass
  • Nitrogen-fixing species
