Overview

Jean-Louis Morel is a researcher affiliated with the University of Lorraine in France, specializing in Environmental Science and Agricultural and Biological Sciences. Their work is centered primarily on topics such as Geochemistry and Elemental Analysis, Heavy metals in the environment, and Aluminum toxicity and tolerance in plants and animals.

Their research includes studies on clay minerals and soil interactions, plant stress responses and tolerance, biocrusts and microbial ecology, as well as extraction and separation processes. These diverse topics reflect a focus on soil-plant system dynamics and environmental contamination issues.

Morel has authored several papers, including:

  • Chromium biogeochemical behaviour in soil-plant systems and remediation strategies: A critical review, 2021, Journal of Hazardous Materials
  • Simultaneous hyperaccumulation of rare earth elements, manganese and aluminum in Phytolacca americana in response to soil properties, 2021, Chemosphere
  • Phytoextraction of rare earth elements from ion-adsorption mine tailings by Phytolacca americana: Effects of organic material and biochar amendment, 2020, Journal of Cleaner Production
  • Spatially Resolved Localization of Lanthanum and Cerium in the Rare Earth Element Hyperaccumulator Fern Dicranopteris linearis from China, 2020, Environmental Science & Technology
  • Biogeochemical cycles of nutrients, rare earth elements (REEs) and Al in soil-plant system in ion-adsorption REE mine tailings remediated with amendment and ramie (Boehmeria nivea L.), 2021, The Science of The Total Environment

Frequent coauthors in their work include Rongliang Qiu, Yetao Tang, Wen-Shen Liu, Shizhong Wang, and Antony van der Ent, indicating collaborative efforts across several related specialized areas.

Morel commonly publishes in notable academic venues such as:

  • Journal of Hazardous Materials
  • Environmental Science & Technology
  • Plant and Soil
  • SSRN Electronic Journal
  • The Science of The Total Environment

The researcher has contributed to the publication of books as well. Notable titles include Agromining: Farming for Metals, published by Springer International Publishing in 2020, and a methodological work titled Méthode d'analyse des stratégies en faveur de la biodiversité. Analyse de la capacité à initier un changement transformateur. Application à la troisième stratégie nationale pour la biodiversité (SNB3) released in 2023 by the Centre de Coopération Internationale en Recherche Agronomique pour le Développement.
