My activities

Initial training

  • Optional module 1st year engineer : Tree, you said tree but what do trees tell us ?   
  • Biogeochemical cycle and ecosystem functioning/tree   
  • Agronomy 1: Soil, climate   
  • Population genetics   
  • Module Biological indicators of soil condition

Professional training

  • Professional training on Mycorrhizae
