Tarik MEZIANE

General topics

The main theme of my research is the study of the fate of organic matter (OM) in aquatic ecosystems in wetlands (mangroves, varzea, etc.). I pay particular attention to the contribution of this OM to the food webs and in maintaining productivity and biodiversity in coastal environments. I am also studying the impact of anthropogenic discharges on the biodiversity of estuarine and coastal areas and the impact of eutrophication on the fixation of blue carbon in mangroves, taking into account the role of crabs.

Teaching

I teach mainly aquatic ecology within the 2 courses of Master SDUEE (MNHN-UPMC).

Other teaching:-sampling-inventory-data analysis-scientific English

EBE-functional Ecology of natural and anthropized ecosystems 3 ECTS

SEP - Introduction to inventories in insular and coastal environments 3 ECTS

Curator tasks

Curator of the annelids collection. For more details please follow this link http://www.mnhn.fr/fr/collections/ensembles-collections/invertebres-mari...

Administrative responsibilities

2019 - Director of the Research unit BOREA
2007-2018 : Team leader SOMAQUA (BOREA)
