Impacts de la palourde asiatique, invasive, Corbicula fluminae sur les systèmes des rivières.

Karl Matthias Wantzen est  Enseignant – chercheur à l’Université de Tours, UMR 7324 CITERES, équipe IPAPE.

Le programme de recherche SIAL (Stable Isotope Analysis Loire) porté par Karl Matthias Wantzen (Université de Tours, UMR 7324 CITERES, équipe IPAPE) est mené en collaboration avec Catherine Boisneau (UMR 7324 CITERES, équipe IPAPE) et Nina Richard (Université de Tours, CETU Elmis Ingénieries, UMR 7324 CITERES, équipe IPAPE) dans le cadre du Plan Loire et de la Zone Atelier Loire (ZAL). Il est financé par l’Agence de l’Eau Loire Bretagne, la Région Centre et l’Union Européenne (L’Europe s’engage dans le bassin de la Loire avec le Fonds européen de développement régional).

K. M. Wantzen est titulaire de la chaire « Fleuves et Patrimoine / River Culture » retenu par l’UNESCO.
Il s’engage pour une gestion des fleuves et de ses zones inondables d’une manière respectueuse de la nature et de la culture. « C’est la dynamique des eaux qui crée un environnement favorable à un grand nombre d’espèces et de cultures. La survie de l’humanité dépend très directement du bon fonctionnement des écosystèmes, même si l’homme ignore souvent cette réalité. Alors on fait des études sur ce fonctionnement pour une meilleure gestion, pour conserver le potentiel évolutionnaire de la biodiversité et de la culture. En bref, « River Culture », c’est la convivialité homme-fleuve », dit il.
Biodiversité et usage durable de l’eau douce
Sur notre planète bleue, la proportion d’eau utilisable par l’homme et par les autres organismes continentaux est très faible.  Néanmoins, l’eau continue d’être considérée comme une ressource illimitée.  Le changement climatique aggrave les problèmes existants en ce qui concerne la pérennisation et l’amélioration de la qualité et de l’accessibilité à l’eau, surtout en changeant la distribution temporelle et spatiale de cette ressource essentielle à la Vie. La présentation se focalisera sur les thématiques de la biodiversité et de l’usage durable des bassins versants. Le déclin de la biodiversité des organismes d’eau douce, principalement dans les fleuves, est alarmant ; ceci montre les risques pour l’espèce humaine. C’est pour cela qu’il faut fonder la gestion et l’aménagement des bassins versants sur le respect des fonctions écologiques des fleuves afin de garantir leur intégrité et leur fonctionnalité dans le futur.Il faut ainsi dépasser les obstacles économiques et les contraintes de la politique actuelle.K.
