Recherche

Beaucoup d’espèces microbiennes vivent sur les feuilles des plantes et jouent un rôle important dans la croissance et la fonction des plantes, ainsi que sur l’activité des écosystèmes forestiers. En regard de l'importance de la biodiversité pour la santé humaine et le développement durable de l'économie québécoise et canadienne, la Chaire tente de mieux comprendre l'écologie, l'évolution et la biodiversité ainsi que ses impacts sur la santé et la croissance des arbres. Ses recherches permettent de prévoir les interactions entre la biodiversité végétale et les écosystèmes au Québec et de proposer des avenues pour améliorer les pratiques en gestion forestière. Mes activités de recherche actuelles incluent l'utilisation de séquençage ADN de haut débit pour comprendre la diversité et l'assemblage des communautés microbiennes et l'écologie évolutive des plantes et des bactéries dans les forêts tempérées et tropicales. Bien que j'utilise beaucoup de méthodes quantitatives et la bioinformatique dans mes recherches, je suis également un biologiste de terrain; j’ai en effet effectué des recherches dans les écosystèmes forestiers et appliqué la théorie écologique à la gestion durable des forêts boréales.
