Research Interests

I was trained in French Universities as a plant biologist and ecologist, and passed my master thesis on experimental plant morphology. However, during my PhD, I started to work on fungi and mycorrhiza, and after my coming to Germany in 1988, I became a soil ecologist. Thereby, my research interest has gradually focused on relating diversity of soil microorganisms (fungi and bacteria) to soil functioning, plant diversity and land use intensity in the context of the accelerated global change. I however also continued to follow my initial master and PhD works by studying interplays between development and multiple biotrophic interactions in trees. All these activities mostly occurred within large joined projects in Germany and the Chinese subtropics such as Research Units, Priority Programs or Collaborative Research Centres granted by the German Science Foundation (DFG), or BIOLOG supported by the BMBF (Federal Ministry of Research and Education). I also had projects granted by European programs such as ERA-Net or more recently PRIMA.

I am grateful to all members of my former professor chairs at the Universities of Jena and Leipzig and of the UFZ Soil Ecology Department in Halle (Saale), Germany, which I had the honor to lead until my retirement. Together we gained expertise helping us to implement complex experiments and monitoring programs in the field, and to develop controlled cultivations models to study multitrophic interactions. We implemented analytic platforms in high trough put chemical, microbiological, physiological and molecular analyses and learned to use modern statistics, bioinformatics and modelling to integrate the results. I always tried to share this expertise with students of the Jena and later Leipzig Universities, where I have been full professor.

This expertise probably prompted my engagement in diverse scientific committees in particular at the German Science Foundation (DFG) and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. The enlarged vision of science managment I could acquire provided me the capacity to be one of the founding director of the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv), Halle-Jena-Leipzig.

Since my retirement in fall 2022, I continue to support those projects not already achieved, and am happy to cooperate and support the new DFG Research Unit 5571 PhytOakmeter "Using clonal oak phytometers to unravel acclimation and adaptation mechanisms of long-lived forest tree holobionts to ecological variations and climate change", which will start in spring 2023.
