Postponed Event : 

“Functional Ecology Conference” to be held in Nancy 10-13 December 2018

The International Conference on Functional Ecology will be held in December 2018 in Nancy. The call for abstracts is open until 15 september. Researchers, engineers and PhD students are invited to register!

Highlight innovative actions, future research and applications! This is the objective of the International Conference on Functional Ecology 2018. This event will bring together scientists specialized in the functional ecology of organisms, populations, communities and ecosystems.

FEC2018 aims to take stock of research in functional ecology, focusing on material and energy flows and mobilizing long-term observation, experimentation and modelling. Global changes, threats to biodiversity, and remediation of degraded ecosystems will be addressed in the case of forest, natural, cultivated and urban ecosystems. It is also a space for interaction between experienced researchers, young researchers, engineers,… and research facility.

The program has just been announced: submit your abstract!

The event is composed of five daily sessions and a workshop on AnaEE France infrastructures. Registrations are open and you can now submit an abstract. All levels of research and ecosystem types (crops, grasslands, shrubs, forests, marines, lakes, rivers, urban and mining ecosystems) will be considered. Several sessions will be devoted to the functioning of forest ecosystems, which will be the main theme this year. Sessions will be delivered in English.

Les arbres : sont-ils vraiment intelligents ? /// Projection-débat Sciences en Lumière à Lorry-Mardigny

Les arbres occupent près d’un tiers des terres émergées de la planète. Indispensables à notre survie, ils sont en particulier nos meilleurs alliés face au réchauffement climatique. Pourtant, nous ignorons presque tout d’eux. Loin d’être figés dans leur monde végétal, les arbres ont en fait une vie bien plus riche qu’il n’y paraît. Ils communiquent, s’entraident, se défendent, ils bougent même ! Les arbres seraient-ils dotés d’une certaine forme d’intelligence ? C’est la thèse défendue par un forestier allemand, Peter Wohlleben, dont le livre, « La vie secrète des arbres » est devenu un succès planétaire, vendu à plus d’1 million d’exemplaires. Le reportage « Le Monde Secret des Arbres » de Raphaële Schapira et Vincent Barral (documentaire d’« Envoyé spécial » du jeudi 26 octobre 2017) nous fera voyager des forêts de hêtres millénaires d’Allemagne jusqu’aux centres de thérapie forestière du Japon, en passant par les laboratoires de l’INRA qui étudient la perception des mouvements par les arbres, voyage au coeur de l’univers secret et fascinant des arbres. Au cours de cette soirée, Marc Buée et Pascal Frey, tous deux Directeurs de Recherche dans l’Unité Mixte de Recherche « Interactions Arbres-Microorganismes » à l’INRA de Nancy et spécialistes des arbres, animeront un débat avec le public à l’issue de la projection de ce documentaire, afin de tenter d’y voir clair entre science, croyances et interprétations abusives.
