PhD in Modelling relationships between plant diversity and ecosystem services provided by grasslands (France & Italy)

This PhD will provide theoretical progress and knowledge integration on the relationships between plant diversity and the functioning of complex grasslands. Its mechanistic approach will explain the control of plant diversity on the resilience of grasslands and will guide the prediction of the likely impacts of future changes on the sustainability of grasslands and pasture-based production systems. It targets generic modelling of the driving mechanisms of vegetation dynamics, which control the grassland ecosystem services (biomass production, forage quality, soil carbon storage, etc.). The detail of modelling is of interest for farmers (to orient grassland management) and policy makers (to support agriculture and environmental policies). Without being in itself a break in the paradigm of grassland modelling, this PhD is part of a broad programme of re-foundation of grassland models, required on the one hand by the need to value ecosystem services and, on the other hand, by the demand for operational tools. We have outlined the perspective of translating into smart technology operational tools for decision support based on the modelling of plant diversity. The coordinated development of technologies (modelling, satellite imagery, drones, optical sensors) within smart applications based on open access data/open source software goes hand in hand with the implementation of innovative grassland management. These actions are currently developed within the INRA metaprogramme ECOSERV, project MODIPRAS, of which this PhD frames certain operational elements. Supported by an international partnership, MODIPRAS would help to develop concepts in support of the PhD, which stems from the analysis of “agrosystems responses to global changes” (INRA UREP 2017-2021 project, theme 3) and is positioned in the challenge 1 “sustainable agro-ecosystems in a context of global change” of Science-Innovation-Territories-Economy Initiatives (I-SITE) “Clermont Auvergne project 2025” (CAP 2025).

Ph.D. Graduate Research Assistantship Dept. of Soil Science, North Dakota State University

 

The Department of Soil Science, North Dakota State University, is seeking a highly motivated and skilled PhD graduate research assistant (GRA) to lead field research on cover crops and tillage practices to enhance soil water management in the northern Great Plains.   Project description The northern Great Plains (North and South Dakota) has experienced a wet climate cycle for the last 30 years. The most common practice for managing excess soil water in annual cropping systems is with frequent chisel plowing to facilitate soil warming and drying prior to spring planting. Many annual crop producers have only experienced farming during this period and are accustomed to managing cold, wet soils. However, future climate variability may cause producers to shift from managing excess water to conserving water during drought. No-tillage and the use of cover crops are current alternatives to frequent tillage, which are increasing in popularity among regional farmers, especially for improving soil health. We currently lack data- supported knowledge on how different tillage and cover cropping practices influence water budgets, soil health, and farm economics across different soils, crop rotations, and climate scenarios. The objectives of this project are to (1) Establish full-production scale demonstration sites to allow a side-by-side comparison of tillage and cover cropping practices available for managing soil water and improving soil health; (2) Quantify water budgets (precipitation, soil water storage, evapotranspiration, drainage, runoff) under different tillage and cover cropping treatments, as they relate to cash crop water use, drought/water stress, and yield; (3) Assess soil health condition in response to different tillage and cover cropping treatments, especially with regard to biological activity, infiltration, water holding capacity, and crop productivity; (4) Develop economic models that incorporate the value of water availability to cash crop production along with the expenses associated with different tillage and cover cropping practices, to evaluate the profitability of a set of practices under variable precipitation and water use conditions; and (5) Distribute information about feasible water management options under variable weather conditions to farmers, agronomists, educators, and scientists through field days at the demonstration sites, circular media, videos, and presentations.
