The UMR EcoFoG's project is to integrate different approaches in ecology and materials science in order to :
- to understand the relationships between biodiversity and the functioning of tropical forest ecosystems, whether or not they are exploited, and how they are evolving under climatic and human pressures,
- to encourage innovation in the use of forest resources in the context of this high biodiversity, taking into account the constraints of use linked to the humid tropical environment.
