  • 2023 - Research.com Environmental Sciences in France Leader Award

Overview

Michel Mench is affiliated with INRAE, the National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food, and Environment in France. Their research primarily spans agricultural and biological sciences with a significant focus on environmental science. The scientist's work concentrates on plant science, pollution, soil science, ecology, evolution, behavior, systematics, and nature and landscape conservation.

Their research covers various main topics, which include:

  • Heavy metals in environment
  • Soil carbon and nitrogen dynamics
  • Plant stress responses and tolerance
  • Ecology and vegetation dynamics studies
  • Plant micronutrient interactions and effects
  • Silicon effects in agriculture
  • Plant-microbe interactions and immunity

Michel Mench has published extensively in several scientific journals. The most frequent publication venues are:

  • Environmental Science and Pollution Research
  • The Science of The Total Environment
  • Environmental Pollution
  • Plants
  • Frontiers in Environmental Science

Recent papers authored or co-authored by the scientist include:

  • "Phytomanagement of Metal(loid)-Contaminated Soils: Options, Efficiency and Value" (2021), Frontiers in Environmental Science
  • "Keep and promote biodiversity at polluted sites under phytomanagement" (2020), Environmental Science and Pollution Research
  • "LONG-TERM stability of arsenic in iron amended contaminated soil" (2020), Environmental Pollution
  • "Conceptual and methodological issues in estimating the success of ecological restoration" (2021), Ecological Indicators
  • "Water and soil contaminated by arsenic: the use of microorganisms and plants in bioremediation" (2021), Environmental Science and Pollution Research

Michel Mench has collaborated frequently with several researchers. Among the most common co-authors are Beata Rutkowska, Wiesław Szulc, Lilian Marchand, Peter Schröder, and François Rineau, with multiple joint publications reflecting ongoing cooperative research efforts.
