• FORESTS AND WATER
Our work focuses on studying the influence of forests and forest management on water balance and watershed hydrology, as well as their effects on forest health and the dynamics of fluvial systems within the context of climate change. We use calculation methods based on ecohydrological and hydraulic modeling across spatial scales (from individual trees and river sections to basins and sub-basins) and temporal scales (from daily to decadal). We validate our results using field and satellite data.

Our objectives include: demonstrating how sustainably managed forest ecosystems can help balance their regulatory functions; improving the water status of basins, water reserves, and fluvial ecosystems; and designing tools that enable decision-making.
