Section: Application Domains

Microbial ecology of soil

This application domain is more recent for the team members. We target

• the research questions raised by agronomists, about the better understanding of the interactions and the biodiversity of microbial communities in soils, with the help of models and numerical simulations,

• the role of spatial structures on the functions or ecological services of microbial ecosystems, notably the soil fertility and the carbon sequestration.
