Team " Écology, Eco-toxicology Chimie Applied to theAgroécologie et à la Restauration

Faced with the erosion of biodiversity due to global changes (land use, climate, biological invasions, pollution), theEECAR team aims to (i) develop approaches for diagnosing the state of health of ecosystems, and (ii) produce original results and innovations for the ecological restoration or sustainable management of natural and cultural heritage, as well as assessing their effects and legal prospects.

On the one hand, the team relies on ecotoxicological approaches (development of biomarkers, in particular) and chemical (research into chemomarkers) and, on the other hand, on the characterisation of populations and communities (vegetation, terrestrial invertebrates)The aim is to identify bioindicators and gain a better understanding of the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning.

The approaches used stem from therestoration ecologytheecological engineeringtheagroecologythe nature protection law and chemistry heritage. They enable EECAR to contribute to conservation-restoration of cultural heritagethe protecting, restoring and rehabilitating socio-ecosystems as well as the implementation of a sustainable management of agroecosystems. The team is also studying the legal instruments used to prevent damage to the natural environment, as well as their compensation systems.
