Dynamique et assemblage des communautés adventices : Approche par modélisation statistique
2011
To develop solutions for a productive and sustainable agriculture, principles, theories, andmethods of ecology may contribute to understand the biological processes governing the agroecosystem.The present case study was based on data collected by a network of observatories of weeds covering the whole of France (‘Biovigilance Flore’) and aimed at establishing forrules governing the assemblage and dynamics of weed communities in fields grown with annual crops. We particularly studied the possible relationships between species within acommunity, as well as the relationships between communities and their environment. Analyses were based on species abundances to take account of their effect on c…
Caractérisation expérimentale de la variabilité phénotypique du système racinaire nodulé de génotypes contrastés de pois (Pisum sativum L.), en phase…
2013
One of the challenges in plant breeding pea is to offer adapted genotypes to non-optimal environmental conditions. One of the factors limiting the agronomic performance of the pea is related to the environment plant sensitivity. Nodulated root system traits determine this sensitivity. The characterization of phenotypic traits combinations of the nodulated root system in different peas genotypes is interesting to suggest new plant breeding traits. The objective of this work was to experimentally characterize the phenotypic variability of the nodulated root system of 10 pea genotypes. The analysis was conducted under controlled conditions. The plants were grown in the absence of nitrates. Phe…
Les terroirs viticoles : une méthodologie de zonage en fonction du sol
2010
Terroir is a key-concept in viticulture that is more and more widely recognized to explain variations in wine quality and wine style. Terroir refers to an area and thus possesses a geographical dimension. Hence, zoning of viticultural terroir is necessary. This paper addresses soil related aspects of terroir zoning. The first step of the zoning process is a clear identification of the objectives that are being pursued: demarcation of production areas, the adaptation of the viticultural management practices to variations in soil types or the protection of viticultural landscapes. The second step is the definition of a scale adapted to the objectives. The precision of the zoning increases wit…

Evaluation ex ante des conséquences de l'adoption de la production intégrée en grandes cultures à l'échelle de la Bourgogne
2015
The agriculture in France is under intense pressure. Farmers are asked to change their crop management, to evolve toward agroecology, to follow the principles of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and to reduce pesticide use. However such an evolution toward an alternative agricultural model will be possible only if innovative cropping systems are able to maintain competitive and profitable farms.The aim of our work is to contribute to the debates about this issue, by evaluating ex ante the potential consequences of adopting the principles of IPM over one whole agricultural region, taking into account the diversity of production situations within this region. We considered the Burgundy region…
Indicators of agricultural intensity and intensification: a review of the literature
2015
Since the 1960s, research has dealt with agricultural intensification (AI) as a solution to ensure global food security. Recently, sustainable intensification (SI) has increasingly been used to describe those agricultural and farming systems that ensure adequate ecosystem service provision. Studies differ in terms of the application scales and methodologies, thus we aim to summarize the main findings from the literature on how AI and SI are assessed, from the farm to global levels. Our literature review is based on 7865 papers selected from the Web of Science database and analysed using CorText software. A further selection of 105 relevant papers was used for an in-depth full-text analysis …
Variability of Christmas rose (Helleborus niger L.) populations and its potential use in genetic breeding
2005
International audience; The Christmas rose (Helleborus niger L.) is widely distributed in Southern and Central Europe, and Slovenia is probably one of the centers of its diversity. The investigation was aimed at evaluating phenotypic diversity among selected wild populations in Slovenia and neighboring Croatia. Some of the analyzed traits expressed relatively very high variation (e.g., number of leaves per plant, number of inflorescences per plant). The variation ranges of some of the analyzed traits were found to be wider than those mentioned in the literature. Statistical analysis indicated that variability was more expressed within than between populations. In terms of present market req…
Optimisation du pyroséquençage haut-débit pour caractériser la diversité taxonomique des communautés bactériennes des sols
2012
La diversité microbienne d’un sol (que l’on estime à 100000 à 1000000 d’espè ces différentes par gramme de sol) est difficile à caractériser. Toutefois, d’importantes avancé es en biologie moléculaire (comme le développement du pyrosé quençage), ont permis d'obtenir plusieurs centaines de milliers de sé quences à partir d’un ADN métagénomique, permettant une meilleure caracté risation de la diversité des communautés microbiennes du sol. Toutefois, dans un contexte ou l’écologie microbienne du sol commence à s’accaparer les é chantillonnages de grande envergure (spatial et temporelle) afin de mieux hié rarchiser les processus et paramètres impliqués dans la diversification de ces communauté …
Relevance of modelling for assessing spatial and temporal effects of GMOs - upscaling
2007
International audience; Gene flow is a common phenomenon for crop species and its implications for Genetically Modified Plants have raised new concerns. Undesirable effects related to gene flow may result in ecological or agronomic considerations (persistence of feral plants, creation of new weeds; impacts on biodiversity) as well as in commercial considerations (adventitious presence of GMOs in conventional crop production affecting its competitiveness in the marketplace). Consequently, the coexistence between different types of crops has become a major issue and has to be addressed per se whatever are the actual ecological, agronomic and safety impacts. On-farm gene flow occurs both in ti…
