Native plants support complex relationships between insects, pollinators, and ecosystems. Understanding these unseen connections reveals their central role in sustaining biodiversity.

Only a few plants can support a large share of biodiversity. Learn why keystone plants are essential for insects, birds, and healthy ecosystems.

The sociability index reveals how plants interact in nature: some grow alone, others in tight groups or large colonies. Understanding this behaviour helps design native plantings that are more stable, durable, and easier to maintain. Discover how this tool can guide the creation of cohesive and resilient plant communities.

🔬 Forest soils and climate warming: what does the science say? Sharlène Laberge, Head of Scientific Research and Innovation at Akène, co-authored a fascinating study published in the scientific journal Discover Soil, which explores how forest soils react to rising temperatures- and how tree species influence these reactions. 🌳 CO₂, CH₄, forest composition, temperature thresholds… The results challenge many common assumptions!
