Manon Sabot

Dr. Manon Sabot is a Group Leader at the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry in Jena, Germany, within the Biogeochemical Signals (BSI) department. Her research focuses on plant ecophysiology, climate change impacts on ecosystems, and drought stress responses.

Research Interests

Sabot's work integrates plant physiology, ecological modeling, and biogeochemistry to study forest resilience, drought adaptation, and carbon-water exchange dynamics. She specializes in:

• Climate-vegetation interactions
• Hydraulic trait optimization
• Drought-induced mortality mechanisms
• Biophysical feedbacks in extreme events
• Functional trait variation under environmental stress

Publications Trends

Her recent articles highlight the role of plant hydraulics in ecosystem models, stomatal behavior under drought, and climate extremes' impacts on forests. Key themes include:

• Improving drought stress simulations in vegetation models
• Trade-offs between water loss and carbon gain
• Heterogeneity in tropical forest responses to climate
• Biophysical feedbacks during bushfires and droughts
• Long-term ecological observations of biocrusts and seeds
