UMR EcoFoG

The Joint Research Unit Ecology of Guiana Forests (EcoFoG) gathers AgroParisTech , Inra, Cirad, CNRS and the University of West Indies and French Guiana in four locations in French Guiana: the campus of Kourou, the University campus of Cayenne, the Wood Science Laboratory of Pariacabo in Kourou and Paracou field station in Sinnamary.

The unit belongs to the Excellence Laboratory Ceba.

The purpose of the unit is to integrate approaches in ecology and material sciences to:

  • First, understand the relations between diversity and ecosystem functioning, considering the effects of explotation, anthropic pressure and global change,
  • Second, impulse innovation to valorize forest ressources, taking into account its large diversity and the particuliar constraints of moist tropical environment.
