Nicolas Beriot

Nicolas Beriot is a Researcher at Wageningen University & Research, specializing in Soil Physics and Land Management. His work focuses on microplastic pollution in agricultural soils, pesticide residue impacts, and soil biota interactions. He has contributed to interdisciplinary studies assessing plastic contamination protocols across Europe and authored guidelines for advanced microplastic detection methods.

Education & Affiliations:

• PhD in Soil Science (Wageningen University)

Research Interests: Beriot's research emphasizes understanding microplastic sources in agroecosystems, soil physicochemical properties under plastic mulch, and environmental fate of pollutants. His work bridges laboratory experiments with field studies to evaluate long-term soil health implications.

Collaborations: Active in international networks, he collaborates on projects analyzing plastic debris effects on soil hydrology and microbiome dynamics. Recent work includes studies on Portuguese peach orchards and European agricultural soil contamination patterns.

Grants & Projects: Co-promoter of PhD projects investigating microplastic-pesticide synergies and soil biota toxicity. Lead researcher in studies measuring soil properties under plastic mulch films.

Labs & Teams: Associated with Wageningen's Soil Physics and Land Management team, contributing to open-access datasets on microplastic quantification and soil analysis methodologies.
