Joint Research Unit EcoSys

INRAE - AgroParisTech

 

EcoSys is a Joint Research Unit located on the AgroParisTech-INRAE campus in Palaiseau. Our research focuses on understanding the functioning of agro-ecosystems in relation to agricultural practices, their response to global change and interactions with urban and peri-urban environments. Our work is rooted in and organized around our core strength, namely the articulation of biophysical-based approaches for experimentation, observation and modeling at different temporal and spatial scales. Our research focuses on the multifunctionality and health of soils, particularly in urban and peri-urban contexts, the regulation of surface-atmosphere exchanges and emissions of contaminants into the air, terrestrial ecotoxicology from plot to landscape (landscape structure considered as a factor in the regulation of ecological and biogeochemical flows) and the sustainable management of biogeochemical cycles on territorial and regional scales.
