Mr. Thibaud Legros | Life Climate and Ecosystem Health | Young Researcher Award
Aix-Marseille University | France
Thibaud Legros is an emerging researcher in chemical ecology whose work focuses on biosphere–atmosphere interactions, soil VOC emissions, and climate-driven changes in Mediterranean forest ecosystems. His publication record includes two scientific publications: one peer-reviewed article on the decline of soil volatile organic compounds in Mediterranean deciduous forests under future drier climates, and one accepted article examining contrasting BVOC emissions from soils in Mediterranean evergreen forests under natural and amplified long-term rain scarcity. While the Scopus reports 2 citation counts and provides 1 h-index, these works represent significant contributions to understanding how drought scenarios influence biogenic emissions and secondary pollutant formation. His research integrates advanced analytical tools such as PTR-MS, GC-MS, and ecophysiological assays, combined with modeling approaches including MEGAN for VOC fluxes and CHIMERE for atmospheric chemistry and transport simulations. His expertise spans soil ecology, plant biology, and multivariate statistical analysis in R, enabling comprehensive assessments of BVOC behavior under climate-induced stressors. Through oral and poster presentations at high-level international conferences, he has demonstrated strong engagement with the global scientific community. With 2 documents, 2 citations reported, and an 1 h-index, his research trajectory shows clear promise and scientific rigor.
