Jonathan Lenoir

Dr. Jonathan Lenoir is a CNRS Researcher at the Ecology and Dynamics of Anthropized Systems (EDYSAN) laboratory, University of Picardie Jules Verne, France. His work bridges Ecology and Biostatistics, focusing on ecological dynamics under spatial and temporal global changes, particularly biotic responses to climate change. His research spans broad-scale biodiversity patterns, species distribution modeling, and microclimate ecology, with special attention to forest systems.

Dr. Lenoir leads and contributes to multiple research projects including MaCCMic (Impact of forest Management and Climate Change on understory Microclimate) and IMPRINT (Impacts of Microclimatic Processes on forest Biodiversity redistribution under macroclimaTe warming). These projects utilize advanced technologies like LiDAR and microclimate sensors to model understory temperature dynamics and predict biodiversity responses to climate change.

His recent publications analyze microclimate buffering in forests (2024), species thermophilization (2024), and the application of deep learning to habitat identification (2024). His work also explores interdisciplinary connections like eco-oncology, comparing invasion dynamics in ecology and medicine.

Dr. Lenoir actively mentors researchers and supervises fieldwork campaigns, emphasizing rigorous data collection (180 monitoring plots across French forests) and advanced statistical analyses in R. He collaborates with European institutions and participates in large-scale initiatives like ReSurveyEurope, a database of resurveyed vegetation plots.
