Maxime Buron
ecologist

My PhD thesis aims to evaluate the parameters controlling the pollinator health in Walloon agricultural landscapes. To do this, I use a multiscalar approach, from the analysis of soil chemistry to the description of landscape elements by drone. The findings acquired on several study sites will then be extended to the regional scale using a remote sensing approach.
