Purco Ralaiarison RALIEN

I am a master student in Biodiversity, Ecology, Evolution (BEE) of the specialty Dynamics and Modeling of Biodiversity (DYNAMO) at the University of Grenoble Alpes. I am doing my master internship in the Plant Ecophysiology team, Laboratory of Ecology, Systematics and Evolution (ESE), Université Paris Saclay, Orsay. My internship (funded by CLAND convergence institute), titled “Modelling French Forest Production in Relation to Climate Change, aims to understand forest production under climate change by taking into account forest dynamics and silvicultural management using simulation data from the biophysical stand model called CASTANEA. The specific objective of my work is to simulate up to year 2100, the effects of different management scenarios (no management, extensive, trend, intensive), climate models (CNRM, Hadgem, MPI) and CO2 emissions (RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5) on the production of monospecific stands of Scots pine, beech, oak and spruce.
