organisation profile

Research by the functional and environmental ecology laboratory (EcoLab) fall within the field of ecology and environmental science at the interface between the life sciences, the Universe of Science and Humanities and Company, in a context of sustainable development. The purpose of the laboratory is the combined study of the functioning of communities and ecosystems and their interrelations.

Thus, the research integrates dynamic environments, the role of biodiversity in ecosystem functions, the influence of disturbance regimes on biodiversity, dynamics and the effect of pollutants, modeling of the structure and operation
ecosystems and bio-remediation and restoration of natural environments.

EcoLab attaches particular to study the responses of organizations / communities / ecosystems and their interrelationships to external forcings and enhance this work by developing research completed to meet the expectations of society, especially in the diagnosis and assessment of the state of the environment, defining new standards and new indicators of ecosystem health, of biodiversity management, ecosystem services and, more generally, ecological engineering.

EcoLab of the research is based on strong industrial partnerships involving the impacts of human activities on organisms and ecosystems and ecological engineering. A joint laboratory was established between EcoLab and Arkema to develop research on the ecotoxicological effects of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) multiwall on aquatic organisms.
