Analyse des effets direct et indirect des pratiques agricoles sur les adventices et la production de blé tendre d’hiver
2016
Analysis of direct and indirect effects of farming practices on weeds and winter wheat yield. Farmers implement farming practices to maximize production by limiting biotic (e.g. weeds) and abiotic (e.g. nutrient) growth factors. Our study aimed to quantify direct and indirect (through a change of weed pressure) effects of farming practices on yield. We analysed the relationships between farming practices, weeds and yield of 152 wheat fields located in the study site of Fénay (UMR Agroécologie, Dijon) using partial least square path modelling (PLS-PM). Our results showed that farming practices had a positive direct effect on crop productivity (β = 0.32). Farming practices decreased weed pres…
Modelling Keloids Dynamics: A Brief Review and New Mathematical Perspectives
2022
The keloids are fibroproliferative disorders described by an excessive growth of fibrotic tissue, which also invades adjacent areas (beyond the original wound borders). Since these disorders are specific to humans (no other animal species naturally develop keloid-like tissue), the experimental in vivo/in vitro research has not lead to significant advances in this field. One possible approach could be to combine in vitro human models with calibrated in silico mathematical approaches (i.e., models and simulations) to generate new testable biological hypotheses related to biological mechanisms and improved treatments. Since these combined approaches do not really exist for keloid disorders, in…
Study and modelling of the impacts of agricultural practices on the abundance of soil microbial communities: dynamics at the landscape scale
2022
Soil Microbial communities play a major role in soil fertility and are important as bioindicators to evaluate the impacts of agricultural practices on soils. The challenge is to promote their use in order to support / accelerate innovation in the agricultural sector. The goal of this thesis was to characterize spatial and temporal dynamics of soil microbialcommunities at the scale of an agricultural landscape in order to create models and propose a Decision Support Instrument (DSI) for stakeholders in the agricultural communities. For this, a multi-disciplinary approach was used combining microbial ecology, environment assessment, spatial computer modeling, associated to a participatory app…

The use of Burgundy stone from ancient times to the present day
2014
International audience; Burgundy stone is widely reputed for its quality and diversity. Because it is suitable for the various requirements of construction and sculpture, it has been used continuously since ancient times. Inventories drawn up so far by researchers have been piecemeal. A new comprehensive inventory has now been undertaken with a view to renewing the involvement of various academic disciplines (archaeology and history of architecture, socio-economic history and history of art). A partnership has been formed among various laboratories at the University of Burgundy in order to ensure the validity of archaeological and historical data, develop an open platform in the form of a W…
Contextes spatiaux et transformation du système de peuplement: approche comparative et prédictive
2011
We propose a method to identify and simulate settling choices Roman rural settlements using predictive modeling, based on the method developed in the 1990s by F.-P. Tourneux within the Archaeomedes project to characterize and compare the environmental contexts of Roman rural settlements in several areas of southern France. We have developped the model for three regions with very different topographical conditions : The Vaunage region (Languedoc, France), the Argens-Maures region (Provence, France) and Zuid-Limburg (Netherlands).
SimFeodal: an agent-based model to explore the combined effects of social and demographic changes on the hierarchy of rural settlement patterns in No…
2019
International audience; In North-Western Europe, regional settlement patterns that were dispersed in 800 CE became much more concentrated and hierarchical in 1200 CE (Tannier et al. 2014). This phenomenon occurred in all regions but the resulting level of concentration and hierarchy of settlement patterns differed notably among the regions. Several processes jointly explain this major transition (Cura et al. 2017). •The dismantling of the Carolingian Empire and the dissipation of powers induced struggles among lords and thus a rise in violence. The result of this was the creation of castles as well as an increase of the need of protection for peasant households•The militarisation of the soc…
Capability of a high resolution hydroclimatic modelling chain to simulate soil water deficit indices for Douglas-fir and common Beeches over Burgundy.
2016
During the 2003 drought and heat wave event, douglas-fir and common beech stands in Burgundy have been heavily affected, and presented symptoms of dieback and mortality. This event seems to be the first occurrence of expected climatic changes in the near future and questions their sustainability in Burgundy since their climate vulnerability is mainly due to the amplitude and accumulated water constraints exercised during their growing cycle. In the context of climate change and in order to provide information to forest managers who partly rely on a mapping of the climatic constraints until the end of this century, this work explores the ability of a high resolution hydroclimatic modelling c…
