Impacts of climate change on the evolution of water resources in the context of the Mediterranean islands using as an ex...
Ce livre décrit les processus hydrologiques et leurs dynamiques passées et actuelles au gré de l'évolution des agrosystèmes, de leur emprise spatiale, de leur capacité d'adaptation au changement global, et aux changements climatiques. Il se fonde sur l'indicateur que représente la capacité de rétention en eau des sols, qui conditionne la bonne alim...

Natural and anthropogenic forcing factors and their changes significantly impact water resources in many river basins around the world. Information on such changes can be derived from fine scale in situ and satellite observations, used in combination with hydrological models. The latter need to account for hydrological changes caused by human activ...
In the last decades, globally several small experimental watersheds were set up to study the climate and agricultural influences on water and biogeochemical cycles. Recently, the concept and importance of Critical Zone Observatory (CZO) was made and this resulted in developing such observatories in several countries including a global network of CZ...
Rainfall and climatic conditions are the main drivers of natural and cultivated vegetation productivity in the semiarid region of Central Sahel. In a context of decreasing cultivable area per capita, understanding and predicting changes in the water cycle are crucial. Yet, it remains challenging to project future climatic conditions in West Africa ...
