Christopher Carcaillet, professeur, est un écologue des perturbations. Il étudie l'influence du climat et des processus sociaux sur la biodiversité et le fonctionnement des socio-écosystèmes dans l'espace et le temps. Ses recherches portent principalement sur la chronoécologie du feu sous l'effet des changements climatiques et sur la dynamique des communautés végétales dans les zones boréales, montagnardes, méditerranéennes et tropicales. Il s'intéresse également aux analyses planétaires concernant le rôle du feu dans le bilan carbone via les émissions de carbone vers l'atmosphère et la séquestration à long terme dans les sols du carbone pyrogénique.
Christopher Carcaillet enseigne l'écologie (bases de l'écologie, écologie des perturbations, écologie du paysage, biodiversité, fonctionnement des écosystèmes, services écosystémiques, aménagement écosystémique, etc.) à l'EPHE , à l'Université PSL, à l'Université de Lyon et en école d'ingénieurs de l'Institut national polytechnique de Bordeaux. Il a également enseigné à l'Université de Montpellier pendant dix ans.
Chris Carcaillet est titulaire d'un Master en aménagement écologique des territoires (1992) obtenu à l'Université de Rennes (France), d'un Master (DEA, 1993) et d'un doctorat (1996) en écologie de l'Université d'Aix-Marseille (France), ainsi que d'une Habilitation à diriger des recherches (2001) de l'Université Paul Sabatier (Toulouse, France). Il a été chercheur postdoctoral au Département de géographie de l'Université de Montréal (Canada, 1997-1998) et à l'Université du Québec à Montréal (1999). Il a également été chercheur à l'Université d'agronomie de Suède (SLU, 1999-2001). Il est devenu professeur à l'École pratique des hautes études (EPHE, Paris) en 2001 en Sciences de la Vie et de la Terre, et professeur honoraire à l'université PSL en 2014. En 2022, il a été élu membre associé étranger au Churchill College de l'université de Cambridge, au Royaume-Uni.
Il est membre du comité de rédaction d'Ecosphere (depuis 2024), d'Ecosciences (depuis 2008), de Plant Ecology (depuis 2019) et de Forest Ecology and Management (depuis 2020). Il a été rédacteur associé du Canadian Journal of Forest Research [2002-2024], de Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution [2013-2023] et de PLoS ONE [2014-2018].
Prof. Christopher Carcaillet is a disturbance ecologist. He studies the influences of climate and social processes on the patterns of biodiversity or socio-ecosystems in space and time. His main research focuses on the chronoecology of fire in relation to climatic changes and plant community dynamics in boreal, mountain, Mediterranean and tropical areas. He is also concerned by global studies, notably by the function of fire on carbon budget through the release of carbon to the atmosphere, and the long-term sequestration of black carbon in soil. Chris Carcaillet teaches ecology (the bases, landscape ecology, disturbance ecology, biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, ecosystem services, ecological management, etc.) at the EPHE , the PSL University, at the University of Lyon and in an Engineering School of the University of Bordeaux. He has also taught at the University of Montpellier for 10 years. Chris Carcaillet graduated in Master of Technology in Ecological land management (1992) from the University of Rennes (France), a M.Sc (1993) and a PhD (1996) in Ecology from the Aix-Marseille University (France), and a Habilitation in 2001 from the Paul Sabatier University (Toulouse, France). He was post-doctoral fellow at the Dept of Geography of the Univ. of Montréal, Canada (1997-98), at the Univ. of Québec at Montréal (1999) and, research fellow at the Swedish Univ. of Agricultural Sciences in Umeå (SLU, 1999-2001). He became Professor at Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes (EPHE, Paris) in 2001 at the Dept of Life and Earth sciences, and honorary Professor at PSL University in 2014. In 2022, he was elected Overseas By-Fellow at Churchill College, University of Cambridge, UK. Chris Carcaillet is editorial board member of Ecosphere (since 2024), Ecosciences (since 2008), Plant Ecology (since 2019), and Forest Ecology and Management (since 2020). He has been associated editor of the Canadian Journal of Forest Research [2002-2024], Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution [2013-2023], and PLoS ONE [2014-2018].

Hélie has magnificently defendedhis M.Sc. thesis in geosciences on 11th June.
Thesis title: Eco-chemical variability of Corsican black pine (Pinus nigra) wood: ecophysiological response to wildfires and climate over the past 300 years.
His defence occurred at the Dept of Geology at the Ecole Normale Supérieure Lyon.
His opponent was Dr. Tu Thanh-Thuy Nguyen, Sorbonne University, Paris.
Hélie was co-supervised by François Fourel (CNRS) and myself, with the contribution of Jean-Christophe Domec (Bordeaux Sciences Agro). We wish him the best as he pursues his life's project.
Thesis abstract. In Mediterranean ecosystems, the intensification of wildfires driven by climate change could deeply alter the tree response. A few studies have used isotopic proxies to investigate the physiological points of this response. We here propose a method to assess the interaction between fire, climate and tree physiology on fire injured trees using isotopic proxies over a 300-year timescale. Forty-one fire sequences were analysed using EA-IRMS to measure the carbon and nitrogen isotopic compositions of Corsican black pine wood (Pinus nigra ssp. laricio) after resin extraction. The isotopic trends followed did not reveal variation in response to fire. However wood 𝛿13𝐶 and 𝛿15𝑁 are sensitive to climatic changes. Therefore, Corsican black pine appears highly resistant to fire. Despite deep fire scars, investigated trees did not, on average, modify neither their intrinsic water-use efficiency (iWUE) nor their nitrogen nutrition strategies in response to fire. Since 1960, climate change has been associated with a highly significant increase in iWUE, related rising atmospheric CO₂ concentrations and increasing spring and summer temperatures. In contrast, 𝛿15𝑁 exhibits a declining trend, reflecting a slight long-term decline in soil nitrogen availability driven by repeated wildfires. This trend has become increasingly marked since 1920, indicating that declining soil nitrogen availability may be reinforced by reduced symbiotic exchanges between black pine and decomposer mycorrhizal fungi.

Timothée Darbois has brilliantly defended his M.Sc. thesis in genetics on 2nd June. Title: A new post-glacial recolonisation route through the southwestern Alps for Pinus cembra.
His defence occurred at Ecole Normale Supérieure at Lyon.
His opponent was Dr. Christian Rellstab, Swiss Federal Research Institute WSL.
Timothée was co-supervised by Thibaut Capblancq (University Grenoble Alpes), Sébastien Laverge (CNRS) and myself. We wish him a good journey and a great race in the Alps.
Thesis abstract. Quaternary climatic oscillations greatly influenced the demographic history of species. The retrieval of tree species in glacial refugia during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) severely controlled their modern distribution and genetic structure. Pinus cembra, a treeline species, is thought to have recolonized the Alps after the LGM from lowland refugia in northeastern Italy. However, recent discoveries of paleo-remains and of scattered populations far above the treeline challenge this scenario. With a whole exome capture approach, we reinvestigated the species demographic history. We first excluded the possibility of in situ refugia for two atypically high-elevation populations that didn’t show any genetic compared to low-altitude populations. Results show that genetic diversity in P. cembra is mainly structured by geographic isolation, and supports the previously proposed westward recolonisation route through the Alps, from a refugium in northeastern Italy. We found that populations from the southwestern Alps were singularly differentiated from northwestern populations. Our results suggest that these southwestern populations most likely result from admixture with populations that recolonised the Alps following a different route, probably through the western Pô plain (Italy). We here showed how subtle signals of demographic history can be unravelled with genome-wide polymorphism data.

It was a great pleasure to contribute to the book U Lariciu, which I recommend to anyone planning to visit Corsica and its mountain wilderness areas, or who has already visited this Mediterranean island, or concerned by the ecology of natural forests of black pine (Pinus nigra).

I am pleased to introduce Hélie Peyron, a Master's student at the ENS de Lyon. His project focuses on the isotopic responses of trees to fire regimes and climate change in Corsica over the last 300 years.
This project is directly linked to Bulle Alberto's doctoral thesis. Hélie will be co-supervised for his intership by François Fourel and myself.
Good luck to Hélie and welcome to LEHNA!
