Team Biogeochemistry and Ecosystems (BIOECO)

The team's main objective is to characterize and quantify the dynamics of biogeochemical flows and their interactions with plant, animal and microbial communities. We advocate a holistic approach to ecosystem functioning within continental surfaces, fully integrating the eco-biogeochemical functioning of ecological regulation zones. From now on, we want to consider the interactions within a regulating ECO-system, but also between regulating ecosystems themselves in terrestrial-aquatic continuums, using an integrated approach at watershed scale, while taking into account the impact of global change. Wetlands in the broadest sense of the term remain the central common object, and will be studied under different pedo-bioclimatic conditions, as well as within boundary ecosystems and agroecosystems.
