Overview

Luc Abbadie is affiliated with Sorbonne University in France and conducts research primarily within the fields of Agricultural and Biological Sciences and Environmental Science. Their work spans across several subfields, including Ecology, Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics, Soil Science, Atmospheric Science, and Sociology and Political Science.

The main topics addressed in their research encompass Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Dynamics, Peatlands and Wetlands Ecology, French Urban and Social Studies, Agriculture and Rural Development Research, Climate Change and Permafrost, Urban Green Space and Health, as well as Plant and Animal Studies.

Among their recent publications are the following:

  • Plant-soil synchrony in nutrient cycles: Learning from ecosystems to design sustainable agrosystems, 2023, Global Change Biology
  • Temperature and soil management effects on carbon fluxes and priming effect intensity, 2020, Soil Biology and Biochemistry
  • Plant-pollinator interactions on green roofs are mediated by substrate characteristics and plant community composition, 2020, Acta Oecologica
  • Potential energetic return on investment positively correlated with overall soil microbial activity, 2022, Soil Biology and Biochemistry
  • Topsoil characteristics of forests and lawns along an urban-rural gradient in the Paris region (France), 2020, Soil Use and Management

Frequent co-authors in their publications include:

  • Naoise Nunan
  • Sébastien Barot
  • Xavier Raynaud
  • Ludovic Foti
  • Louis Dufour

Abbadie has published multiple papers in venues such as Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), Soil Biology and Biochemistry, Acta Oecologica, Annales des Mines - Responsabilité et environnement, and Global Change Biology.

In addition to articles, Abbadie has contributed to book publications, including a scientific prospectus for French biodiversity research published by the Centre de Coopération Internationale en Recherche Agronomique pour le Développement in 2023.
