  • L’objectif général de ce projet de thèse est d’analyser et d’évaluer les données sources (actuelles et potentielles) des matrices de changements d’occupation du sol afin d’améliorer la robustesse de l’inventaire. Il s’agit d’expertiser par une démarche scientifique la pertinence des travaux réalisés annuellement pour l’inventaire UTCATF. En particulier, il s’agit de comprendre les causes des incertitudes des données sources ; compiler les données disponibles et leurs métadonnées ; étudier qualitativement les dynamiques paysagères décrites ; et redéfinir un cadre méthodologique permettant d’estimer des taux de changements plus pertinent.

  • This dataset is the coastal zone land surface region from Europe, derived from the coastline towards inland, as a series of 10 consecutive buffers of 1km width each. The coastline is defined by the extent of the Corine Land Cover 2018 (raster 100m) version 20 accounting layer. In this version all Corine Land Cover pixels with a value of 523, corresponding to sea and oceans, were considered as non-land surface and thus were excluded from the buffer zone.

  • Première utilisation du sol, devant l'agriculture et loin devant l'urbanisme, la forêt couvre 45 % du territoire aquitain. La région se caractérise par la domination d'une essence, le pin maritime. Celui-ci couvre plus de la moitié de la surface forestière régionale. Outre sa valeur patrimoniale, cette forêt génère une activité économique qui représente environ 3 milliards d'euros. Ce secteur forêt-bois est donc un formidable gisement d'emplois, principalement en milieu rural. Cet espace occupé par la forêt attise néanmoins des convoitises pour différents types d'usage: l'urbanisation, les installations photovoltaïques ou encore l'agriculture.

  • This dataset presents the resulting assessment grid (based on the EEA reference grid) with the classification of chemical status of the transitional, coastal and marine waters in the context of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). This classification has been performed using the CHASE+ tool, with classifications of the matrices ‘water’, ‘sediment’ and ‘biota’ and indicators of ‘biological effects’, as well as an integrated classification of chemical status, combining results of all matrices. The chemical status is evaluated in five classes, where NPAhigh and NPAgood are recognised as ‘non-problem areas’ and PAmoderate, PApoor and PAbad are recognised as ‘problem areas’. This is the assessment made excluding concentrations of mercury (Hg) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) The overall area of interest used is based on the marine regions and subregions under the Marine Strategy Framework Directive. Additionally, Norwegian (Barent Sea and Norwegian Sea) and Icelandic waters (’Iceland Sea’) have been added (see Surrounding seas of Europe). Note that within the North East Atlantic region only the subregions within EEZ boundaries (~200 nm) have been included. This dataset underpins the findings and cartographic representations published in the report "Contaminants in Europe's Seas" (EEA, 2019): https://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/contaminants-in-europes-seas.

  • L’objectif de cette étude est d’illustrer à l’aide d’indicateurs les conséquences de choix de gestion imposés par cinq scénarios socioéconomiques prospectifs appliqués à une large zone forestière pour les 60 prochaines années. Le cas d’étude choisi est la zone centrée sur la commune de Pontenx-les-Forges dans le sud-ouest de la France et couvrant 101000 hectares. Cet article présente une description de la zone d’étude et des itinéraires sylvicoles mis en œuvre par les propriétaires forestiers selon des scénarios. À l’aide d’un simulateur pilotant deux modèles de croissance, l’évolution de la zone d’étude à l’échelle de chaque parcelle est synthétisée par 9 indicateurs sur une période de 60 ans : le volume sur pied, le carbone sur pied, le volume total exploité, la valeur commerciale sur pied, le volume de l’arbre moyen, la vulnérabilité au vent et au feu, et des indices de biodiversité. Un des principaux résultats de cette étude est de montrer l’amplitude des changements pour la production et le volume sur pied : selon les scénarios les récoltes annuelles peuvent varier de 50 % dès 2030. Par conséquent, d’autres indicateurs sont impactés comme la biodiversité, la vulnérabilité au vent ou au feu. Pourtant, l’espèce dominante est maintenue et le comportement partiellement conservateur des types de propriétaires est pris en compte. En conclusion, des améliorations pour de futures simulations sont envisagées ; dans ce but, des synergies avec la télédétection sont nécessaires pour la collecte des données d’initialisation sur de larges territoires, ce qui permettra d’améliorer la précision des résultats.

  • Process-driven seafloor habitat sensitivity (PDS) has been defined from the method developed by Kostylev and Hannah (2007), which takes into account physical disturbances and food availability as structuring factors for benthic communities. It is a conceptual model, relating species’ life history traits to environmental properties. Physical environment maps have been converted into a map of benthic habitat types, each supporting species communities with specific sensitivity to human pressures. It is based on two axes of selected environmental forces. The "Disturbance" (Dist) axis reflects the magnitude of change (destruction) of habitats (i.e. the stability through time of habitats), only due to natural processes influencing the seabed and which are responsible for the selection of life history traits. The "Scope for Growth" (SfG) axis takes into account environmental stresses inducing a physiological cost to organisms and limiting their growth and reproduction potential. This axis estimates the remaining energy available for growth and reproduction of a species (the energy spent on adapting itself to the environment being already taken into account). It can be related to the metabolic theory of the ecology. The process-driven sensitivity (PDS) can be seen as a risk map that combines the two previous axes and reflects the main ecological characteristics of the benthic habitats regarding natural processes. Areas with low disturbance are areas with a naturally low reworking of the sediment, allowing the establishment of a rich sessile epifauna community, with K-strategy species. Areas with low SfG means that the environmental factors, even though there are not limiting, are in lower values, i.e. that it imposes a cost for species to live. In areas combining low disturbance and low SfG, big suspension-feeder species with long life and slow growth can often be found: these species are more vulnerable in case of added disturbance.
