Antoine Pierart

Interested in soil micro-organisms, sustainable agriculture and ecotoxicology, I specialized on mycorrhizal fungi and biochar through an engineer degree in agriculture sustainability and a PhD focused on the role of symbiotic fungi in the transfer of elements between soil and edible plants in polluted areas.
Part of my work focused on the ecotoxicological effect of heavy metal on soil enzyme activities in relation with biochar application (watch my post about the LOBICIDA project!)
I work now as a project manager at ADEME, in the 'Forest, Food and Bioeconomy' Department on soil quality and prospective.
