Simulation Tool for Mapping Acarological Risk in Agricultural Landscapes – OSCAR
In agricultural landscapes, where livestock production occupies a large proportion of the surface area, pastures often adjoin different natural ecosystems also frequently used by a diverse range of wild fauna that share many parasites and pathogenic agents . Even in the absence of direct contact, p
Ecological and Legal Tools for the Assisted Migration of Forests – AMTools
The overall objective of this project is to provide ecological and public policy tools for the eventual implementation of assisted migration programs of trees in France. Main stakes are related to the uncertainty of a) the type of climatic change for a target site; b) the degree of adequacy of curre
SOil Functional diversity as an Indicator of sustainable management of Agroecosystems – SOFIA
SOFIA project addresses the impact of agricultural practices on the taxonomic and functional diversity of the soil living communities , and the effects on the functions performed by these soils ( greenhouse gas emissions, carbon storage, nutrient availability , biodiversity). The treatments used mod
Management of crop resistance to diseases in agricultural landscapes as a response to new constraints on pesticide use – Gester
The central objective of Gester is to produce scenarios for variety deployment at the scale of agricultural landscapes. As it is currently used, the genetic resistance of the cultivated varieties is poorly durable because of the fast adaptation of pathogen populations. We have shown for instance tha
Map simulation tool for the agro-ecological evaluation of land use change scenarios in tropical insular environment – DESCARTES (DEfinition, Simulation CARtog
Reunion, a small island in the Indian Ocean area, is characterized by a dynamic population and an economy that must scope with strong space constraints. These constraints result in land use issues such as: How Reunion agriculture can reconcile the objectives of the various sectors while contributing
Sustainable Development of Palm Oil Production: Designing strategies from improved knowledge on oil palm cropping systems – SPOP
In order to promote and recognise the efforts made by players in the sector in implementing a sustainable production, various certification schemes were set up. In this context, the SPOP project aims at consolidating and deepening the scientific basis of certification schemes. The project primarily
Integrated management and adaptation of pearl farming industry in french polynesia in the glabal change context: environmental, economic and social approach – POLYPERL
In 30 years, pearl culture has become one of the most important industries in French Polynesia. However, this industry, which is based on the exploitation of a single cultivated species, the pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera, is currently undergoing an unprecedented crisis. POLYPERL project will d
