Hélène Horen serves as a Lecturer in Pedology at the University of Picardie Jules Verne, affiliated with the EDYSAN research unit (Écologie et Dynamique des Systèmes Anthropisés). Her academic profile integrates teaching in Soil Science and Hydrogeology within Professional License and Master's programs in Agroecology and Ecology, alongside significant research leadership in forest soil dynamics. Her research program investigates soil resilience across multi-decadal to centennial timescales, focusing on human-induced disturbances through three interconnected pillars: historical ecology examining soil memory of ancient land uses (forest-field conversions), contemporary impacts of forestry machinery compaction monitored via LiDAR technology, and emerging threats from invasive species like Rhododendron ponticum and Prunus serotina. This work uniquely bridges physicochemical, physical, and biological soil properties to quantify recovery trajectories and functional impacts. Analysis of her publication record (2016-2023) reveals consistent methodological innovation with increasing emphasis on remote sensing applications, particularly LiDAR for operational forest management. Her research demonstrates a clear evolution from historical reconstruction toward predictive modeling of soil functionality under anthropogenic pressures, with recent work prioritizing carbon transformation processes and nutrient cycling disruptions caused by invasive species.
