Annals of Forest Science is calling for submissions to our Collection 'ARBRE: Documenting rapid changes occurring in forest socio-ecosystems'.

The goal of this topical Collection is to illustrate some novel results and innovative approaches developed in the frame of the French Excellence Initiative “ARBRE”, which sometimes led to explicit recommendations for managers of the forest sector.
At the interface between different scales (from molecule to landscape) and different disciplines (from biochemistry, soil science, biophysics, chemistry, remote-sensing to economy and social sciences), the papers will highlight the importance of disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches to decipher the different dimensions of forest and wood sciences.
Stéphane Uroz, PhD, Labex ARBRE - INRAE, France
After completing a Master's in Microbial Ecology from the University of Lyon I (2000-2001), Dr. Uroz Stéphane secured a PhD grant from the French Ministry for Research and Higher Education, awarded by the University of Paris XI (Orsay). His doctoral research, under the guidance of Yves Dessaux and Phil Oger, focused on the biological stability of N-acyl homoserine lactone (quorum sensing signal molecules), investigating the hypothesis that these molecules require degradation to function as signals, potentially by bacteria naturally present in soil. Dr. Uroz performed his PhD in three locations: i) the 'Plant Microorganisms Interactions' lab at the Institute of Plant Sciences (ISV, Gif-sur-Yvette; supervised by Yves Dessaux), ii) the "Sciences de la Terre" lab at the Normal School (ENS, Lyon; supervised by Phil Oger), and iii) the "Institute of Infections and Immunity" at the University of Nottingham (Queen's Medical Centre, Nottingham; supervised by Paul Williams, Miguel Camara, and Siri Ram Chhabra) through the European Union Marie Curie programme. On October 15, 2004, Dr. Uroz successfully defended his thesis (Jury: P. Simonet, S. Reverchon, D. Haas, M. Dubow, Y. Dessaux, P. Oger).
On October 22, 2004, Dr. Uroz was appointed as Junior Research Associate (CR2) in the EFPA (Forest, Grassland, and Aquatic Environments) Division of the National Institute for Agronomic Research (INRA) and the INRA center of Nancy. He worked at the intersection of two research departments: i) The "Tree Microbes Interactions" (IAM, UMR1136) department, and ii) the "Biogeochemical Cycles in Forest Ecosystems" (BEF, UR1138) department. Dr. Uroz is a member of the Ecogenomic team in the IAM department and the Mineral Weathering team in the BEF department. In January 2009, Dr. Uroz was promoted to Research Associate (CR1).
On February 24, 2014, he successfully defended his HDR (Habilitation à diriger des recherches) entitled "Ecology of Biotic and Abiotic Interactions of Forest Soil Bacterial Communities: Characterization of the Actors, Mechanisms, and Related Genes" (Jury: C. Mougel, P. Simonet, S. Vuillemier, R. Marmeisse, L. Moulin, P. Leblond, E. Gelhaye, P. OgerGER, and P. Frey-Klett).
Dr. Uroz was appointed as INRA Research Director (DR2) in December 2014. From January 2020 to January 2022, he served as Head of the Ecogenomics of Interactions team.
