Le paysage comme représentation spaciale : le paysage viticole comme symbole des indications de provenance des vins des régions Vale dos Vinhedos, Pi…
2011
The theme of this thesis is the landscape in its specificity vineyard analyzed as a spatial representation in the building process of the geographical area of viticulture growing and the use of image of vineyard landscape as spatial landscape of the wine of the regions of Geographical Indication (GI’s) Vale dos Vinhedos, Pinto Bandeira and Monte Belo, Brazil. The objective was to explain the use of vineyard landscape as spatial representation and the images of vineyard landscape as spatial symbol for the wines of GI’s. The theoretical sources to analyze are related to the Critical geography and with the Cultural geography. The organization of the geographic area of the regions of GI’s comes…
A spatially explicit model to simulate soil microbial communities’ dynamics at an agricultural landscape scale
2021
Soil microorganisms play a major role in soil functions and are an efficient indicator to evaluate the impact of agricultural practices on soil quality. Biogeographical studies over wide scales ranging from landscape to countries have concluded that soil microbial abundance and soil prokaryotic richness is following a heterogeneous distribution in space under the dependence of soil properties (e.g. pH, soil texture, organic matter content) and agricultural practices. The goal of this study is the creation of a model that can predict dynamics of soil microbial communities depending on the agricultural management over time. For this, we focus on a monitored landscape (Fénay landscape, 1.200 h…
Expanding genetic graphs' potential to analyse ecological connectivity: assessment of graphs construction methods
2019
International audience; Dispersal movements are often constrained in human-shaped landscapes, thereby threatening species survival. Landscape genetics approaches are commonly used to analyse ecological connectivity because genetic data well reflect dispersal capacities. When species occupy discrete habitat patches, graph-theoretic methods are a particularly relevant approach to study dispersal-driven gene flow. The links of a genetic graph can be weighted using different genetic distances between populations (nodes). Similarly, graph pruning (link set selection) can rely on different criteria. However, despite growing interest in genetic graphs, the influence of these parameters remains mos…
Quand et comment utiliser les graphes génétiques pour analyser la connectivité écologique dans des paysages hétérogènes ?
2019
National audience; Lorsque les espèces occupent des taches d’habitat au sein de paysages hétérogènes, la connectivité écologique est influencée par la topologie du réseau de populations qu’elles forment. Dans ce contexte, les méthodes basées sur les graphes génétiques permettent i) de révéler cette topologie en identifiant les chemins de dispersion directs et ii) de quantifier la résistance des éléments paysagers à la dispersion. Compte-tenu de l’intérêt croissant pour ces méthodes en génétique du paysage, il est nécessaire de mieux comprendre quand et comment il faut utiliser les graphes génétiques. Pour cela, nous avons simulé le flux génétique entre 50 populations dans différents paysage…
A multispecies approach for modeling the ecological impact of urban development using landscape graphs
2013
International audience; Managing urban sprawl is become a major concern in the field of landscape ecology, since the land use changes involved by urban development may affect the ability of wildlife species to move across the landscape. In order to compare the ecological impact of several urban patterns, we aim at combining two complementary approaches: 1) Simulations of residential development from an initial land use map, using morphological rules of urban development (i.e. fractal vs non fractal) and accessibility constraints; 2) Models of ecological networks applied to a given natural habitat, using a landscape graphs-based approach. As landscape graphs are built according to the moving…
Quand et comment utiliser des graphes génétiques pour analyser le flux génétique dans des paysages hétérogènes ?
2019
La connectivité écologique des habitats dépend de la topologie du réseau formé par les populations qui les occupent. Les graphes génétiques permettent i) d’identifier les chemins de dispersion directs en révélant cette topologie et ii) de quantifier la résistance des éléments paysagers à la dispersion. Nous avons étudié comment l’équilibre migration-dérive affecte les choix de construction de ces graphes et les inférences qui en découlent. Nous avons simulé le flux génétique entre 50 populations dans différents paysages et construit des graphes pondérés avec plusieurs distances génétiques et élagués selon différents critères. Nous avons ensuite comparé la capacité de ces graphes à i) représ…
Inférence de la résistance du paysage au flux de gènes à l'aide de modèles gravitaires intégrant des variables intra-populationnelles
2021
International audience; Modéliser les mouvements de dispersion nécessite d'associer aux éléments paysagers des valeurs de coût caractérisant leur résistance aux déplacements. En landscape genetics, l'inférence de ces valeurs se fait à partir de mesures de différenciation génétique entre populations. Bien que l'hétérogénéité spatiale des tailles de populations puisse aussi influencer de façon significative la différenciation génétique, les variables intra-populationnelles sont rarement prises en compte dans ce type d'inférence. Nous avons étudié à quel point la prise en compte de ces variables pouvait améliorer l'inférence des coûts. Pour cela, nous avons simulé des flux de gènes entre 60 po…
Graphab: A software dedicated to the modelling of landscape networks
2016
International audience; Land cover changes resulting from urban sprawl, transport network intensification and agricultural changes contribute to fragment wildlife habitats and may lead to question viability of animal and plant populations. Landscape ecologists have shown that populations living in fragmented habitats are forced to adopt specific dynamics (patchy populations or metapopulations) making them highly dependent on fluxes between their habitat patches. Landscape connectivity may be defined as the functional response of a given species in terms of movement and individual fluxes to the potential links between habitat patches provided by the landscape structure.Many methods are used …
CeLL, an agent based model for exploring the spatial influence influence of climate change on Lobesia botrana population dynamics
2016
International audience; The European Grapevine moth (Lobesia botrana) is one of the most noxious vineyard-pests in the European and Mediterranean area. Its larvae feed on grapevine flowers and berries, and usually cause considerable damage, also by facilitating saphrophytic infections to berries.The biology of L. botrana has been investigated since the 80s. A number of studies has tested its physiology and behaviour in experimental conditions (Hurtrel et Thiéry 1999), in field conditions (Stockel et al. 1994), and using mathematical modelling techniques. Whereas the modelling approaches that have been proposed in the literature are hetereogeneus they generally focus on the phenology and pop…
Determinants of the distribution of nitrogen-cycling microbial communities at the landscape-scale
2010
Little information is available regarding the landscape-scale distribution of microbial communities and its environmental determinants. However, a landscape perspective is needed to understand the relative importance of local and regional factors and land management for the microbial communities. In this manuscript, we investigated the distribution of functional microbial communities involved in N-cycling and of the total bacterial and crenarchaeal communities over 107 sites using a grid with a 16 km lag distance within Burgundy, a 31 500 km2 region in France. After quantifying the abundances of the total bacterial, crenarchaeal, nitrate-reducing, denitrifying and ammonia-oxidizing communit…
