Will leaf phenology keep pace with climate warming?
ERC Starting Grant 101117001 : LEAFPACE
Last News 2025/03/20
Installation of our first thermal camera at FR-Fon
Our first thermal/visible prototype for monitoring leaf phenology and canopy temperature has been installed at the ICOS site in Fontainebleau, France. Ten other sites will be installed by 2025.
Understanding the drivers of forest leaf phenology across scales
One of the main aims of LEAFPACE is to establish the links between the multiple processes controlling leaf phenology at organ, stand and regional level in the context of global change.

The Core Team
MARC PEAUCELLE: Principal Investigator
Researcher on forest macroecology
ECOFUN Team
LAETITIA DE FELIX: PhD researcher
What role does microclimate play in the sensitivity of leaf phenology to global warming, and what are the consequences for forest resilience?

What is the role of forest heterogeneity on phenology?: a multiscale study combining multisensor remote sensing observations and machine learning methods
JULIETTE ARCHAMBEAU: Postdoctoral researcher
Juliette will start in May 2025. She will be working on the definition of leaf phenology optimality criteria based on functional traits and leaf/tree processes.
JEFF ANDERSON: Research Engineer
Jeff will start in June 2025. He will develop methods for analyzing thermal and visible images acquired at ICOS sites to establish links between leaf phenology, traits and environment.
