1 AgroParisTech, created in 2007, is the French institute for education and research in life sciences, agronomy, food technology and environment B ROMAN-AMAT

2 AgroParisTech : present on 8 sites all over France, of which 3 are involved in forestry : Nancy, Kourou, Montpellier Headquarters, Massy and Grigon NANCY CLERMONT KOUROU MONTPELLIER

3 AgroParisTech : The NANCY Centre

4 A short history of Nancy school of forestry 1824 : creation of the school in downtown Nancy, where it still is 1882 : creation of a research lab in forestry 1964 : research is included in INRA 2000 : creation of «joint» research labs with INRA 2007 : inclusion of ENGREF in AgroParisTech

5 Main figures about the Nancy Centre site area : 1,3 ha administrative staff : 44 scientists and teachers : 36 students : 172 engineer : 130 post master : 15 PhD students : 27 research labs : 3 rooms and flats for students: 89

6 Forests belonging to the school learning by practicing In a 25 km radius around Nancy : 3 forests covering 770 ha (beech, oaks, conifers) used for experiments and training

7 The most important forest library in France documents 200 subscriptions access to world on-line data bases

8 AgroParisTech and its partners in Nancy EFICENT EOF INRA Altogether ~200 scientists and faculty in 14 labs, from molecular biology to ecosystem science NANCY UNIVERSITY Closely linked to forest managers and the forest-based economic sector

9 The main fields of expertise in Nancy Sustainable management of temperate forests - lowland hardwoods : oaks, beech, maple, cherry-tree, ash,...; mixed stands - various silvicultural treatments: coppice / c. with standards/ high forest and selection system - multifunctional management (now including C budgets) tropical forests - ecological basis for a multifunctional management of rain forest in French Guyana - sustainable management of plantations (soil fertility; e g Congo)

10 MSc European Forestry in Nancy : module 7 UNIT Contents Organizers ECTS 1 Introduction to the management of temperate hardwood forests in France (field course) 2 Forest sector modelling ; scientific and policy issues 3 to 7 Forest ecology and dynamics : 5 courses to be chosen between : Integrative biology of tree water budget Modelling biological systems Biogeochemical processes and carbon budget in forest soils Wood as a bio-indicator of climate change Wood quality modelling Functional diversity and dynamics of plant communities AgroParisTech 1 AgroParisTech INRA, Forest economics research lab INRA AgroParisTech INRA Nancy University Nancy University AgroParisTech 2 3 each : 5 x 3 = 15 8 Project (6 weeks), spatial and temporal species distribution 9 Seminar hardwood forests management issues, prepared by personal work AgroParisTech and Nancy University AgroParisTech and Nancy University 9 3

11 MSc European Forestry in Nancy : main possibilities for module 8 AgroParistech - INRA research labs Forest economics («LEF») : forest sector modelling, non market goods and services Forest resources («LERFoB»): forest ecology forest growth silviculture wood science

12 MSc European Forestry in Nancy : main possibilities for module 8 (ctd) Other labs in Nancy INRA - Nancy University : Forest ecology and ecophysiology : impact of global changes on forest ecosystems impact of forests on global water and carbon cycles impacts of stresses on various tree species INRA : Biogeochemical cycles : forest soils, in natural forests and plantations, temperate and tropical zones mineral budgets and long term management of soil fertilty Carbon budget in the soil

13 MSc European Forestry in Nancy : main possibilities for module 8 (ctd) Other labs INRA - Nancy University : Interactions between trees and microorganisms interactions of trees with bacteria and fungi, mycorhizae, ecogenomics levels : cell, tree, stand, ecosystem Other research labs in forestry in France : INRA, CEMAGREF, CNRS, CIRAD, Paris XI University.
