Overview

Thierry Dutoit is affiliated with the University of Avignon in France and has an extensive body of work primarily in environmental science, agricultural and biological sciences, and computer science. Their research spans various subfields including nature and landscape conservation, ecology, signal processing, computer vision and pattern recognition, and global and planetary change.

Dutoit's publications focus on topics related to ecology and vegetation dynamics, land use and ecosystem services, plant and animal studies, as well as speech and audio processing and music and audio processing. Their work also covers pasture and agricultural systems alongside botany and plant ecology studies.

Recent papers by Dutoit include:

  • Integrating a landscape connectivity approach into mitigation hierarchy planning by anticipating urban dynamics (2020, Landscape and Urban Planning)
  • Harvester ants as ecological engineers for Mediterranean grassland restoration: Impacts on soil and vegetation (2020, Biological Conservation)
  • Fostering the use of soil invertebrate traits to restore ecosystem functioning (2022, Geoderma)
  • Pooling biodiversity offsets to improve habitat connectivity and species conservation (2020, Journal of Environmental Management)
  • Synthesis on the effectiveness of soil translocation for plant community restoration (2023, Journal of Applied Ecology)

Dutoit's frequent coauthors include Élise Buisson, Christel Vidaller, François Mesléard, Tania De Almeida, and Olivier Blight.

They publish regularly in several venues with notable volumes, including arXiv (Cornell University), SSRN Electronic Journal, Restoration Ecology, Agriculture Ecosystems & Environment, and Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution.

Among their contributions to academic literature is a book published by Frontiers Media titled Origin, Conservation, and Restoration of the Threatened European Grassland Ecosystem in the Anthropocene (2024).
