Fabien Spicher -UMR7058 EDYSAN

Together w/ Fabien Spicher to install #TMS4 loggers to record microclimatic conditions across the 💯 permanent 🌳🌲 plots of the #RENECOFOR network spread across 🇨🇵

Paired w/ soundscape loggers 🦉🦇 installed by Kevin Darras

#PEPR #FORESTT PC #MONITOR Tasks 3.1 & 3.2 to feed models from Task 3.4 🛰🌳🌐🧪

Allometric equations underestimate woody volumes of large solitary trees outside forests #LSTOFs 🌳

We used terrestrial lidar scanning #TLS & scanned 215 #LSTOFs along rural to urban gradients across 9 🇪🇺 cities to assess their woody volumes 🧪🌐🍁

Below is one #LSTOF near Amiens 🇨🇵

We monitored air 🌡 & vapour pressure deficits below the crown of >200 large solitary trees #LSTs 🌳 along rural-to-urban gradients for 3 tree species (oak, ash, and lime) across 9 European cities 🏫 We found that #LSTs shape their own species-specific microclimate to host 🐝🦋🐿🦇🌾☘️🌻🌼

PERFECT this demonstration! A wonderfully illustration about our field discussion. Have a nice day. See you soon for the next chapter of "ecology and state field discussion"

For sure, a new dataset coming for #soiltemp @jlembrechts.bsky.social @remybeugnon.bsky.social @sandraslowinska.bsky.social @jonlen.bsky.social

What about GHG emissions, microclimate, and biodiversity? The #MicroB²Som project aims to provide answers to these questions. Don’t hesitate to contact us! @fspicher.bsky.social @bbrasseur.bsky.social

The @ramsarconv.bsky.social site “Tourbières et marais de la vallée de la Somme et de l'Avre” is one of the largest alkaline fen in Western Europe (>13,000 ha). Today, woodlands cover 38% of this area, compared to only 1.7% in 1830. This is a true wooded revolution: +2,200% in nearly 200 years.

150 plots are being installed across various types of woodlands found in the wetland and peatland areas of the Somme Valley and its tributaries.
Each plot is equipped with a microclimatic sensor and will be subject to dendrometric and floristic surveys (vascular plants and bryophytes).

For the past three weeks, researchers from #UMR_EDYSAN installing plots for the #MicroB²Som project. This project aims to study microclimates 🌡️, GHG emissions, and the biodiversity of woodlands🌳 on peat soils💧 within #RAMSAR site of the Somme and Avre valleys. Supported by Département de la Somme

Retour sur les évènements #Mélisciences avec @cnrs-hautsdefrance.bsky.social à Amiens ! A la rencontre des élèves au coeur de leurs établissements. Aujourd'hui on parle recherche sur les plantes et l'eau avec #EDYSAN @jonlen.bsky.social 🌱🌿🌾

Aujourd’hui #Mélisciences est au collège Sainte Famille d’Amiens avec les écologues #EDYSAN !
Les élèves explorent les étonnantes capacités des plantes et des graines au contact de l’eau 🪴

@cnrsecologie.bsky.social @upjv-univ.bsky.social

@fspicher.bsky.social, @fgandiaga.bsky.social et Thomas Kichey sont de retour aujourd’hui pour #Mélisciences !
Au collège Compère Morel de Breteuil, les écologues d’ #EDYSAN présentent aux élèves les super pouvoirs de l’eau 💧 et des plantes 🌸☘️

#Mélisciences continue cet après-midi ! 🐝
@fspicher.bsky.social, @fgandiaga.bsky.social et Thomas Kichey invitent les élèves à expérimenter et comprendre le rôle de l’eau dans les écosystèmes forestiers 🌲🌱

For sure we will be there to participate and why not showing some microclimate studies from #Edysan Lab

We are very happy to announce that the next Microclimate Ecology & Biogeography (MEB) conference will happen in Montpellier (FRANCE), 1 - 5 June 2026 ☀️

Microclimate scientists: save the date in your agenda!!

🍾 Bravo Erwan, j'ai encore plus de scrupule de ne pas avoir été là !

Bravo Erwan d'avoir porté l'écologie scientifique lors de ce concours. Je suis désolé de n'avoir pu être présent. Superbe image en tous cas !

"Show me your sensor and I'll tell you who you are! "
In our studies on #microclimate we often wonder about the best technical solution.
It's hard to make a choice... 🤔
Here some systems used or which will be evaluated.
Don't hesitate to follow our past and future studies!

This week the team #Edysan was on field to collect informations on Vinca minor: genetic, epigenetic, ecophysiology, botany and microclimate

🚨 Mosses on the spotlight ⬇️ We made the cover of the current issue of Journal of Ecology 😍🤩 for the last paper of Eva's PhD on the affinity of understory #plant species, including mosses, to #forest #microclimate buffering 🌳

The affinity of vascular plants and bryophytes to forest microclimate buffering Understorey plants have a species-specific affinity to the forest microclimate, which we quantify for the first time. The investigation of species response curves to microclimate processes—buffering ....

🌳Understory #plants have contrasted affinities to the #forest microclimate! Among 126 vascular plants & 64 #bryophytes, many species prefer buffered (less extreme) temps, but not all... 🧪🌍
