Louvain-la-Neuve, 14th October 2024—Louis Delval has successfully defended his PhD thesis titled "Quantifying Soil-Grapevine Hydraulics from Plant to Field Scale" at the Université catholique de Louva...

The hydraulics of sandy soils make their ecosystems more sensitive to soil drying.

Dans une étude publiée dans Nature, nos chercheurs démontrent que le type de sol a une importance primordiale sur la réaction des plantes en cas de sécheresse. Des résultats qui soulignent l’importanc...
