Résumé
BRC4Env is the environmental pillar of the French Research Infrastructure RARe. (https://www.agrobrc-rare.org/), led by the French National Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment (INRAE). BRC4Env manages various biological and genomic resources for agroecological research and environmental health.Since 2018, France has been engaged in the world challenge of Global Soil to preserve soil fertility. BRC4Env network includes the European Soil Conservatory, used to monitor soil health, from microbiome to pollutants. BRC4Env aims also at monitoring biodiversity in the aquatic ecosystem, holding 460.000 ichthyological samples collected for 50 years and, the terrestrial ecosystem with one million arthropod specimens collected worldwide for over a century. BRC4Env manage also living collections of parasitoid Trichogramma and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi used in biocontrol and as biofertilizers, respectively.The catalogue of BRC4Env resources is accessible at the portal https://urgi.versailles.inrae.fr/brc4env/ and corresponding data (genomic, phenotypic, ...) are available for academic and socio-economic researchers. BRC4Env-linked publications are accessible at https://hal.inrae.fr/BRC4ENV.BRC4Env aims to provide a strategic delivery for academic and applied research in environmental health, support the agroecological transition and unravel mechanisms at stake in the adaption of species to climate and environmental changes such as pollution, emergence of pathogens or resistance.
