Tremblay, Sylvie
Sylvie Tremblay graduated in forest engineering from Laval University (B Sc., 1983). In 1989, the same institution awarded her a master’s degree in science (M. Sc.). She worked as a research assistant in ecophysiology at Laval University in 1991, as a freelance researcher on Québec’s heronries in 1992 and then as a vegetation classifier at the Direction des inventaires forestiers from 1992 to 1997. From 2018 until her retirement in 2020, she was a researcher at the Direction de la recherche forestière in the ecosystems and environment team. She worked on the development of models to predict the amount of organic carbon in soils based on their colour, the assessment of the diversity of shrubs and herbaceous strata in the watershed of lac Clair in Duchesnay, the assessment of cation removal by trees in three watersheds, the use of dendrogeochemistry and dendrochronology to reconstruct the history of soil chemistry and the assessment of organic carbon accumulation in reforested or unreforested wastelands. She is particularly interested in the effects of global warming on heterotrophic respiration and the mineralization of organic matter in boreal soils.
