Biogeochemical cycles of elements and soil mechanisms

1. Silicium cycle
   • Soil / plant interface
   • Silicium in context of alteration / mineralisation
2. Carbone cycle
3. Tropical soils and metallogenesis
   • Alteration processes (supergene vs hydrothermal) of basalts associated to peridotites in New Caledonia
   • Transormation of lateritic soils into hydromorphous , then podzolic soils in Brasil
