Arboriculture Team

Experimental facility "Végépôle"  is an essential experimental support for developing and perfecting the methodologies involved in research programs on climate change and the impact of extreme climatic events (frost, drought, wind, etc.) on the functioning of tree or herbaceous plant populations or communities.

The Arboriculture team ensures the creation, production and multiplication of original plant materials in a context of sustainable agriculture and global changes. To this end, the team manages and maintains: a fleet of growing chambers or phytotrons; conventional or GMO greenhouses; an experimental orchard; equipment for monitoring the environment and measuring carbon, nitrogen and water flows in controlled or natural environmental conditions.
