Overview

Richard Michalet is affiliated with the University of Bordeaux in France and specializes in environmental science, with significant contributions to agricultural and biological sciences. Their research work spans several interconnected subfields including nature and landscape conservation, ecology, evolution, behavior and systematics, plant science, global and planetary change, and earth-surface processes.

The main topics of Michalet's work focus on ecology and vegetation dynamics studies, plant and animal studies, species distribution and climate change, plant parasitism and resistance, aeolian processes and effects, soil erosion and sediment transport, and plant water relations and carbon dynamics.

Michalet has coauthored publications with several frequent collaborators, notably Florian Delerue, David Nemer, Hugo Randé, Xiangtai Wang, and Bruno Castelle.

They have contributed to a range of academic journals with repeated publications in key venues such as the Journal of Vegetation Science, Oikos, Journal of Ecology, Ecology, and The Science of The Total Environment.

Recent papers authored or coauthored by Michalet include:

  • "Are complementarity effects of species richness on productivity the strongest in species-rich communities?" (2021, Journal of Ecology)
  • "Network motifs involving both competition and facilitation predict biodiversity in alpine plant communities" (2021, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences)
  • "Morphological and ecological responses of a managed coastal sand dune to experimental notches" (2021, The Science of The Total Environment)
