Project ANAEE-S ANAEE-S : ANAlysis and Experimentation on Ecosystems – Services

National Infrastructure At some stage, part of the european infrastructure (ANAEE-Europe). Scientific field

Biological and Environmental Sciences – managing the ecosystem in a changing context: Ecology, Agronomy, Ecosystem Biology, Evolutionary Biology, Complex Systems Analysis, …

Funds ANR (National Research Agency): program infrastructure Phase 1 (2012-2015) 9 600 000 € (9,753,607 € )



Phase 2 (2012-2020) 4 400 000 € (4,427,734 €)



Organisms (CNRS, INRA, University Joseph Fourier) + secondary organisms (CIRAD, IRD, ONF, Véolia ….)

SCIENTIFIC POSITIONNING of ANAEE-S 

Context : how to exploit ecosystems ressources while preserving biodiversity and

ecosystems services 

Scientific questions : Understanding and predicting ecosystems and biodiversity

dynamic at all scale in a global change context. Coupling biotic and abiotic processes, Spatial and temporal heterogeneity, Coupling ecology and evolutionn, Diversity from genes to community to ecosystems 

New Tools needed to progress on these scientific questions: Working in control conditions and replication power Long term experimentation Methods, instruments and data managing and analyses



Infrastructure Aims: to construct a network of experimental sites with laboratory and

computing facilities for aquatic and terrestrial continental ecosystems and open to the international scientific and private communities

Infrastructure Organisation Community of users Life sciences, ecology, agronomy, environmental sciences Private business, policy makers Services Access to experimental facilities, data and biological resources Supply of ecological models and scenarios

Manipulation in semi control conditions: mesocosms

Planaqua

Aquatic mesocosms et macrocosms: -Planaqua  Community structure and ecosystems functionning -Rennes  ecotoxicoly, but… -Thonon  Lake ecosystems METATRON : Interconnected terrestrial ecosystems All these experimental set ups are combined with adapted laboratory and breeding facilities for preparing experiments. Metatron

Node 3: In-Natura experimental facilities

Sites for long term observation and experimentation

Services : • Experimental sites and associated infrastructures • Long term observational sites : different landscapes and access to long term data •Soil and other samples collected for a number of years temps (21 sites covering a range of ecosystems :Temperate and tropical natural to deeply man-modified ecosystems)

Node 4 : Shared instruments and analytical platforms dedicated to environmental microbiology Node 4: adds

Imaging platform Coord. O. Guillaume (SEEM, CNRS)

Novel instruments sharing and biochemistry labs. - A mobile laboratory : In situ soil water and vegetation analysesion, eau) - Developping and sharing innovative methods: •COV of microbial communities with PTR-MS (Proton Transfer Reaction-Mass spectroscopy) • CO2 (δ13C) stable isotope continuous measurements and The Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy (CRDS) - Biochemical platforms in microbiology (Soil, sediments, water). • GENOSOL Biodiversity profiles with genetic and genomic tools • BIOCHEMENV Biochemical Signature - Scanner for small organisms (in vivo Development and phenotyping)

Node 5 : Data bases and models

-Construction and access to data bases -Modelling platforms

INRA modeling platforms: modelling and simulating agro-ecosystems CNRS platform: Centre for Theory and Modelling of Biodiversity in SEEM BBEES (CNRS) and ORE (INRA): data bases ANAEE-S will help: Centralizing, homogenizing and accessing data bases Helping translating experimentation into data bases Linking data bases to modelling platforms Facilitating access to modelling platforms and modelling platforms communication.
