Title: Biodiversity and Allergy Risks: Modeling the Impact of Climate Change and Extreme Events on the Distribution and Phenology of Allergenic Plants
This PhD aims to understand and anticipate the impacts of climate change—particularly droughts, heatwaves, and land-use change—on allergenic pollen-producing plants and related public health risks. Using a functional biogeography approach, the project will integrate biodiversity, phenology, and climate projection data to model future distributions of allergenic plants, focusing on traits like flowering period, pollen production, and drought response.
The project has two main objectives:
Special attention will be given to invasive alien species, some highly allergenic and likely to spread under warming and aridification scenarios. The project will utilize databases such as BIEN (global) and DivGrass (France), as well as phenological networks like the USA National Phenology Network and the Observatoire des Saisons. The thesis will contribute to an interdisciplinary One Health framework linking biodiversity, climate, and human health.
