Philippe Binet

Philippe Binet is a Professor at the University of Franche-Comté affiliated with the Chrono-environment laboratory (UMR 6249). His research focuses on plant-microorganism associations, mycorrhizal symbioses, and their responses to anthropogenic disturbances including pollution and climate change.

• Research axes: contaminant fate in ecosystems
• Climate change impacts on peatlands/forests
• Key sites: SNO Tourbières (Frasne), Living Lab Phytomanagement (Vieux-Charmont), Franche-Comté forests

His work combines interdisciplinary approaches with emphasis on environmental monitoring systems and carbon flux analysis in temperate peatlands. Current projects include ECOPOLIS for industrial wasteland rehabilitation using phytomanagement strategies.

Scientific contributions demonstrate expertise in:

• Atmospheric pollutant translocation
• Plant-microbe-metal interactions
• Climate change simulation experiments
• Peatland hydrology and biogeochemistry
• Microbial community dynamics
