Assessing ecohydrological processes in grassland and forest ecosystems using water stable isotopes by Angelika Kuebert (University of Helsinki, Finland)20 SepWater stable isotopes (2H and 18O) are a widely applied tool to study ecohydrological processes in the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum. However, isotope-based field studies are often constrained by a lack of temporally explicit data, usually related to the choice of destructive sampling in the field and subsequent analysis in the laboratory.En savoir plus

Bridging the gap between small and large spatial scales in marine dispersal modelling - Applications to coral ecosystems in the Great Barrier Reef by Antoiine Saint-Amand07 SepThe Great Barrier Reefs (GBR) is a treasure of biodiversity, with an immense ecological, economical and iconic value. However, this unique ecosystem is facing many threats, and is particularly suffering from global change. Management measures are therefore more than ever required to protect and restore the reefs.En savoir plus

A novel phenotyping pipeline for root system architecture. Evaluation with diversity panels of bread and durum wheat by Clothilde Collet06 SepPlant root systems are responsible for the capture of soil water and minerals essential for their growth. With the need to reduce fertiliser use and improve resilience to extreme climate events, improving resource capture efficiency has become a hot topic in agriculture.En savoir plus

Personality variation in the butterfly Pararge aegeria: the role of landscape, age and contest ability by Aurélien Kaiser05 SepUrbanization and agriculture are strongly modifying natural ecosystems and these land use changes are now considered as major drivers of biodiversity change. Yet, some species appear to be able to deal with human-created environments.En savoir plus

Xylella fastidiosa, a fastidious phytobacterium threatening northern temperate Europe : Insight into potential pathosystems by Noemi Casarin26 AugXylella fastidiosa, a plant pathogenic bacterium colonizing xylem and transmitted by insects, is involved in severe outbreaks worldwide. X. fastidiosa establishes in a wide range of conditions including different host plants and vector species, making it highly unpredictable in not yet colonized areas.En savoir plus

Combining process-based and data-based approaches to predict high water levels: Application to the city of Pontianak in the Kapuas River delta by Joko Sampurno19 AugThe Kapuas River delta (KRD) is a low-lying marshy delta on the western coast of Borneo Island, Indonesia. In the last decades, palm oil cultivation and forest fires have encroached on the Kapuas water catchment areas, changing the Kapuas hydrological regime and triggering more intense flooding in the KRD.En savoir plus
