École-Chercheur sur la Biodiversité Fonctionnelle dans les Agrosystčmes

Objectifs de la formation

The objectives of this training program are to:

• Explore the different facets of biodiversity in agricultural systems, from identification to community analysis.
• Use taxonomic and functional approaches to characterize weeds, insects (pests and auxiliaries), soil organisms, and plant pathogens.
• Understand metrics for studying biodiversity and their applications in analyzing trophic and functional interactions.

Au programme

The program includes:

• A field trip for sampling organisms in agrosystems.
• Taxonomic and functional identification of weeds, insects, soil organisms, and plant pathogens.
• Calculation of biodiversity metrics and practical application through case studies.
• Interactive conferences on key themes:
  • Trophic interaction networks
  • Challenges and methods of entomofauna identification
  • Biodiversity in soils: characterization and functions
  • Challenges and methods of functional biodiversity

Public ciblé

The target audience is doctoral students, researchers, and teacher-researchers interested in biodiversity, agroecology, and functional approaches to ecosystems.
