Our central objective is to elucidate the role of plants and soil organisms in the functioning of agro-ecosystems and especially in the biogeochemical cycles of carbon and nutrients (with a special focus on nitrogen and phosphorus) in the context of low input agriculture and forest plantations of Mediterranean and tropical areas. The ultimate aim of our research is to translate this knowledge into innovative strategies of ecological engineering of such agroecosystems, while accounting for the major drivers that relate to global changes (climate and land use changes).
