CONTINUOUS TRAINING Soil Ecology

"Faced with the challenges of climate change, preserving biodiversity and ensuring food security, agricultural production methods must adapt to support the agro-ecological transition. These changes in agriculture, in all its diversity, require greater knowledge of how agro-ecosystems function, and in particular of the many functions performed by organisms living in soils."

Training: Soil ecology and biogeochemical cycles

From 24 to 28 March 2025

Institut Agro Montpellier
Objectives

 Learn about the organisms living in soils: micro-organisms, micro-, meso- and macro-fauna, roots and plant symbionts
 Understand their functions and interactions, particularly in relation to the carbon and nutrient cycles
 Discuss the effects of human practices on soil bio-functioning

This course offers an in-depth immersion in soil ecology, focusing on soil functioning and its role in biogeochemical cycles, particularly the carbon cycle.

At the start of the week, half a day will be devoted to organic matter, with a talk by Tiphaine Chevallier, a member of our animation team and involved in the FairCarboN - ALAMOD project.
