Thesis title: "Relationships between ecosystem services related to soil functioning in arable ecosystems in France".

Main responsibilities

As part of my thesis research:

• Analysing and quantifying, in arable ecosystems of mainland France, relationships among ecosystem goods and services related to soil functioning (i.e. agricultural production, nitrogen and water provision to crops, blue water provision, water-quality regulation, and climate regulation via carbon sequestration in soils).

• Improving knowledge of relationships among ecosystem services in arable ecosystems and strategies for managing them.

Main responsibilities

• Simulating the agro-hydrological functioning of the Aveyron River watershed (France) using the MAELIA modelling platform developed by INRAE, to analyse impacts of water-management scenarios in the perspective to develop management solutions for watershed decision makers and stakeholders

• Performing quantitative and spatial analysis of simulation results using R statistical software and ArcGIS

• Writing technical guidance notes for project partners
