Job description:

Purpose :
Forest landscapes are generally complex socio-ecological systems, with spatially heterogeneous land covers and multifaceted interactions involving biological, economic and socio-cultural processes. Forest landscapes support large populations and provide a large bundle of ecosystem services. In the era of global changes, with intensifying perturbations (e.g., droughts, fires) and associated cascading effects (e.g., insect epidemics following drought stress), it becomes critical to understand the resilience of forest landscapes and to predict the fate of multiple ecosystem services as a function of contrasted management scenarios.
