Research and skills

Axes Nicolas Fanin

The microbial “black box” of soil remains largely unknown despite the central role that microorganisms play in the recycling of organic matter and the mineralization of nutrients. In particular, my research aims to evaluate the role of soil functional diversity in the coupling between carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus cycles. During my research, four main axes have been identified as factors that may influence the functionality of soil microbial communities: the effects of the diversity and quality of resources of mineral or organic origin (Axis 1); habitat characteristics, particularly different soil types, land use, and changes in conditions from the green leaf to the soil (Axis 2); biotic interactions, especially interactions with plants and fauna (Axis 3); and finally global changes, including climate alterations, species invasions, or pollution at different spatial scales (Axis 4). In turn, modifications in the functionality of soil microbial communities can alter numerous biogeochemical processes, which themselves underpin the multifunctionality of terrestrial ecosystems.

 

Ongoing projects

• Project VR (Swedish Research Council) - Context-dependency of biodiversity effects.

N_fanin3

In partnership with the Swedish University of Agriculture in Uppsala and Umeå and CSIRO in Glen Osmond, Australia, I address the question of how the environmental context influences the effects of biodiversity loss on ecosystem processes. To do this, we use a gradient of 30 islands (each being an independent ecosystem), collectively representing a chronosequence of boreal islands over 5000 years. Different species (blueberry, lingonberry ...) and functional groups of plants (moss, tree, shrub ...) have been removed for more than 20 years to simulate a loss of biodiversity in each of these islands. The goal of this project is to identify the mechanisms by which plant diversity influences soil functioning and biogeochemical cycling across contrasting ecosystems.

 

• Project Dipticc (Agence Nationale de la Recherche) - Diversity and Productivity of Trees in the context of Climate Change

N_fanin4

In partnership with Bordeaux Sciences Agro, BIOGECO (Bordeaux), EEF (Nancy) and CEFE (Montpellier), the objective of this project is to assess if tree diversity can mitigate the negative effect of climate changes on productivity and soil functioning. To do this, we use two experimental sites: ORPHEE in which more than 25000 trees of 5 local species were planted under all possible conditions; BIOPROFOR which consists of six natural sites in the Alps in which tree species are studied at different levels of elevation. The main objective of the project is to test if multispecific stands are more stable (resistant / resilient) to drought than monospecific stands. In particular, we study soil functioning through roots, mycorrhizal fungi and their impact on the availability of nutrients and carbon.

 

•Project TeaTime4Science - Can drinking tea help us understand climate change?

N_fanin5

The goal of this large-scale participatory project is to bury green and red tea bags and retrieve them three months later to measure decomposition rates. In partnership with the ONF and the RENECOFOR network, more than 1200 tea bags were burried in more than 100 forest sites in France. The results of this project will help to understand what are the main factors influencing the decomposition process at large spatial scales (climate, tree species, geology…). In addition, these data will enter a global database to better understand the role of climate on the decay of organic matter.
