A soil biodiversity survey coupled with the national soil quality monitoring network?
International audience; Despite its importance for human activities, soil biodiversity remains largely unknown and threatened. Aware of the need for large-scale monitoring, we studied the feasibility to add a soil biodiversity survey (RMBS-Biodiversity) to the already existing French soil quality monitoring network (RMQS). We worked with soil biodiversity experts to couple RMBS-Biodiversity with RMQS i.e. to choose soil taxons and functions, the methodologies and the sampling design. According to the experts, the sampling design of RMQS fits with a soil biodiversitysurvey. We propose sampling protocols for i) bacteria and fungi, ii) protists, iii) nematodes, iv) mesofauna (particularly spri…

How to add a biodiversity survey to an already existing national pedologic survey? Case study of the french soil quality monitoring network
International audience; Despite its importance for human activities, soil biodiversity remains largely unknown. This gap of knowledge is a strong limit for studies including it such as in the agricultural field. Particularly, in France, no large-scale monitoring of soil biodiversity exist for the moment except for microorganisms (bacteria and fungi). Aware to this need, with the support of OFB, we studied the feasibility to add a soil biodiversity survey (RMQS-Biodiversity) to the already existing French soil quality monitoring network (RMQS). It is a systemic monitoring based on a 16*16 km grid where the sampling is done on a plot at the center of the mesh, which could belong to different …
Spécimens à la loupe. Les collections naturalistes du Muséum national d'histoire naturelle
À proposLe Muséum national d'histoire naturelle de Paris, partenaire privilégié pour l'enseignement des sciences de la nature et de l'homme, compte près de 66,8 millions de spécimens d'une valeur inestimable. Cet ouvrage permet aux enseignants de mieux appréhender la richesse des collections des muséums de Paris et de province, trouver des points d'appui pour travailler avec leurs élèves, d'envisager des animations sur place, avec les muséums, ou en ligne, grâce aux collections numérisées, s'approprier ces objets d'étude au service de la connaissance et aux fondements de la culture scientifique.Rédigé de manière accessible par des scientifiques, chaque article montre différentes facettes de…
