Fate of organic pollutants after sewage sludge spreading on agricultural soils: a 30-years field-scale recording
2006
Le DOI mentionné dans l'article 10.2166/WPT.2007.008 ne fonctionne pas; International audience; Toxic organic compounds, such as the surfactants linear alkylbenzene sulfonates (LAS) and nonylphenol polyethoxylates (NPE), Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and residues derived from plastics (PAE-phthalates) end up in sewage sludge. In order to evaluate and quantify the potential environmental risks associated with the xenobiotic introduction into biological life cycle, the EU BIOWASTE project (QLK5-CT-2002-01138) devotes one task to the study of the fate of xenobiotic in a sandy soil after sludge spreading on a 30-year field-scale record experiment. Experimental maize crop fields from Bo…
Multi‐specific small‐scale fisheries rely on few, locally essential, species: Evidence from a multi‐area study in the Mediterranean
2022
Achieving sound management of small-scale fisheries (SSFs) is globally recognized a key priority for sustaining livelihoods, local economies, social wealth and cultural heritage in coastal areas. The paucity of information on SSFs often prevents the proper assessment of different socio-ecological aspects, potentially leading to draw inappropriate conclusions and hampering the development and adoption of effective policies to foster SSF sustainability. To respond to the growing global call to assess these fisheries, we carried out a multi-disciplinary and data-rich assessment of SSFs at 11 areas in 6 Mediterranean EU countries, combining the analysis of 1292 SSF fishing operations and 149 se…
Applying the RUSLE and ISUM in the Tierra de Barros Vineyards (Extremadura, Spain) to Estimate Soil Mobilisation Rates
2020
Spain is one of the largest wine producers in the world, with Extremadura (south-west Spain) being its second-largest producing region after Castilla La Mancha. Within Extremadura, the most traditional and productive viticulture region is the Tierra de Barros, which boasts an annual production of 3×

Assessing the quality of dissolved organic matter in forest soils using ultraviolet absorption spectrophotometry
2007
Abbreviations: DOC, dissolved organic carbon; SUVA, specifi c ultraviolet absorbance; UV, ultraviolet. Ultraviolet spectrophotometry was used to investigate the effects, 30 yr after planting, of tree species substitution on the aromatic C content and related properties of dissolved organic carbon (DOC). Precautions were taken to correct measurements for the absorbance of NO 3 and dissolved Fe. In litter leachates, a signifi cant reduction in the aromatic content of DOC was found in the Douglas-fi r [Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco] plantation but not in the beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) plantation. The disturbance of short-term C dynamics thus revealed agreed well with fi eld observations…
Using uncertain preferential information from stakeholders to assess the acceptability of alternative forest management plans
2017
In forest management planning, participatory planning processes are often encouraged as a means to acquire relevant information and to enhance the stakeholders' acceptability of alternative plans. This requires the aggregation of the stakeholders' preferences that can be done in a wide variety of manners. The aggregation process strives to reduce the information into a single set of preferences that simplifies the information and allows for the use of discrete decision support tools. Depending on how the preferences are aggregated, a wide range of plan rankings can emerge. Although this range of ranking complicates the issue of plan selection, it does highlight the uncertainty involved in a…
Étude d'un système de stéréo-vision hybride
2013
National audience; On considère dans ce travail un système de vision hybride fixe composé d'une caméra fisheye et d'une caméra PTZ dans un environnement rigide. Nous souhaitons être en mesure d'orienter la caméra mécanisée sur une cible visible depuis l'image omnidirectionnelle de manière à obtenir une image de bonne définition de l'objet d'intérêt à partir de la caméra PTZ. Nous proposons dans cet article d'utiliser la modélisation sphérique des images ainsi que les propriétés de la géométrie épipolaire afin d'initialiser la localisation de la cible dans la caméra PTZ.
Towards Robust Adaptive Least-Squares Parameter Estimation with Internal Feedback
1998
Abstract The new concepts of the ‘covariance matrix normalization’ and the ‘cascade’ structure of the adaptive least-squares estimator are shown to generalize and extend the use of internal information feedback in various robustness/alertness-oriented modifications to the standard ALS estimation algorithm. In the cascade estimation structure it is possible to ‘naturally’ stabilize, rather than maximize, the information matrix so that the covariance windup and blowup are effectively eliminated and the celebrated square root update of the covariance matrix is no longer needed Consequently, a new, ‘single-loop/cascade’ ALS MIMO estimation algorithm, enabling to effectively track both slow and …
Itô-Stratonovitch Formula for the Wave Equation on a Torus
2010
We give an Ito-Stratonovitch formula for the wave equation on a torus, where we have no stochastic process associated to this partial differential equation. This gives a generalization of the classical Ito-Stratonovitch equation for diffusion in semi-group theory established by ourself in [18], [20].
Solving Conflicts among Conservation, Economic, and Social Objectives in Boreal Production Forest Landscapes: Fennoscandian Perspectives
2018
This chapter discusses challenges and possibilities involved in preserving biological diversity and the diversity of ecosystem services in the boreal zone and yet at the same time maintaining intensive timber extraction in boreal forests. Our focus is on Fennoscandian forests at the landscapes level, and we consider economic, social and ecological in the sustainability of forest management. We provide an outlook to boreal forest ecosystems and their history, and an overview of the forestry practices and policies that aim to ensure multi-functionality of Fennoscandian forests, i.e. diversity of efforts on sustaining biodiversity, timber production and other ecosystem services from forest lan…
