The ECS project is an ANR project. It will explore cooperation in plant symbioses, specifically exploring how plantmicrobe interactions shape the ecological processes and evolutionary trajectories of natural and agricultural ecosystems. This work is anticipated to have tremendous importance for designing a more ecologically intensive agriculture. The project will provide new knowledge and perspectives on the erosion of plant diversity, and its consequences for consortiums of symbiotic microorganisms.
As root symbionts are crucial components of ecosystem functioning and in the maintenance of global soil fertility, our work is likely to lead to broader impacts in soil protection policy, plant breeding research and the design of sustainable agricultural systems.
