Research Group
Vegetation Modelling

Our research group studies the long-term trends (decades to millennia) of environmental and societal changes. More particularly, we focus on the impact of climate and land use on i) pollen production and dispersal and ii) vegetation dynamic and plant diversity to better understand the current and future environmental conditions. For this purpose, we use modelling schemes to combine biological proxies (e.g. pollen, archaeobotanical remains, eDNA and tree rings), modelled data (e.g. climate, dynamic vegetation and land use) and historical/archaeological data. The aim is to better understand the mechanisms behind the interactions between vegetation, climate and anthropogenic activities through time.
