Morgane is a researcher in functional plant ecology. She is interested in the impacts of global changes on tree survival and growth, on forest stand dynamics, and, on a broader scale, on species distribution ranges. She also studies the effects of climate change, particularly drought, on water circulation in the soil-tree-atmosphere continuum. Morgane strives to address these research topics through a multidisciplinary approach (including ecophysiology, functional ecology, community ecology, and biogeography) and at different spatio-temporal scales. Her work thus covers local scales (plant-environment) up to global scales (tree distribution ranges), including the stand scale. Morgane investigates these questions through various types of experimentation: experiments under controlled conditions (e.g., greenhouse, growth chamber), field experiments (transplantation experiments), observations of natural patterns (e.g., surveys of different functional traits along an environmental gradient), and analyses and syntheses of existing data (work on forest inventories, literature reviews, meta-analyses). She also places great importance on scientific popularization and knowledge transfer.
