• Mission

The researcher will lead the analysis of (micro)climate effects on seed emergence and seedling survival through a large-scale seed sowing experiment of five species and two seed provenances of five key tree species (Quercus ilex, Q. pubescens, Q. petraea, Q. robur, Fagus sylvatica). That experiment takes place over an altitudinal gradient in the Montagne Noire in France, a cross-road between the Mediterranean, the Temperate and the Continental forest biome. An initial planting phase has been performed ensuring data availability form the start of the position. We expect the scholar to be able to continue the monitoring of the experiments and potentially develop further experiments in the field, and/or develop greenhouse experiments.

• Skills

We expect a candidate willing to link seed ecology, forest ecology and biogeography through experimental and modeling work, publish their results in international journals, and transfer the results to local management team
