Overview

Jean-Marc Ourcival is affiliated with the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) in France. Their research primarily focuses on environmental science, with a significant emphasis on global and planetary change, nature and landscape conservation, atmospheric science, plant science, and ecology, evolution, behavior, and systematics.

The scientist's work explores several main topics, including plant water relations and carbon dynamics, ecology and vegetation dynamics studies, forest ecology and management, tree-ring climate responses, atmospheric and environmental gas dynamics, as well as plant and animal studies and plant responses to water stress.

Their recent publications cover a range of subjects within these areas. Notable papers include:

  • "X-BASE: the first terrestrial carbon and water flux products from an extended data-driven scaling framework, FLUXCOM-X," 2024, Biogeosciences
  • "Limits to reproduction and seed size-number trade-offs that shape forest dominance and future recovery," 2022, Nature Communications
  • "Drought acclimation of Quercus ilex leaves improves tolerance to moderate drought but not resistance to severe water stress," 2022, Plant Cell & Environment
  • "Beyond forest succession: A gap model to study ecosystem functioning and tree community composition under climate change," 2021, Functional Ecology
  • "Carbon-nitrogen interactions in European forests and semi-natural vegetation - Part 1: Fluxes and budgets of carbon, nitrogen and greenhouse gases from ecosystem monitoring and modelling," 2020, Biogeosciences

Jean-Marc Ourcival frequently publishes in several scientific journals, including Biogeosciences, Plant Cell & Environment, Soil Biology and Biochemistry, Ecology Letters, and Nature Communications.

The scientist has collaborated frequently with several colleagues, notably Jean-Marc Limousin, Nicolas Delpierre, Guillaume Simioni, Daniel Berveiller, and Sylvain Delzon.
