Physically and socially heterogeneous mountain landscapes support high biodiversity and multiple ecosystem services. But rapid landscape transformation from fast urbanisation and agricultural intensification around cities to abandonment and depopulation in higher and more remote districts, raises urgent environmental and planning issues. For antici...

Recent institutional and policy frameworks prescribe the incorporation of ecosystem services (ES) into land use management and planning, favouring co-production of ES assessments by stakeholders, land planners and scientists. Incorporating ES into land management and planning requires models to map and analyze ES. Also, because ES do not vary indep...

Agricultural land is strongly involved in the provision of ecosystem services given its spatial extent and impacts of agriculture on ecosystem functioning. Therefore, mapping ecosystem services require spatially explicit data on agricultural land uses. However, available data on agricultural land use usually have coarse spatial and temporal resolut...

L'évolution des cadres institutionnels et politiques autour de la question des Services Ecosystémiques (SE), notamment avec la nouvelle loi Biodiversité en 2016 en France, amène à une obligation de leur prise en compte dans la gestion territoriale. Cela nécessite l'utilisation d'informations spatialement explicites, et par conséquent le développeme...

The European Union (EU) 2020 Biodiversity strategy aims at guaranteeing and enhancing the future supply of ecosystem services (‘ES’) in the member states. In an ex-ante assessment of plausible environmental policies, we projected the supply of 10 ES under 3 policy alternatives of land-use change (‘Nature Protection’, ‘Payment for carbon sequestrati...

Multiple ecosystem services (ES) can respond similarly to social and ecological factors to form bundles. Identifying key social-ecological variables and understanding how they co-vary to produce these consistent sets of ES may ultimately allow the prediction and modelling of ES bundles, and thus, help us understand critical synergies and trade-offs...

La modélisation et la projection de changements d’usage et de couverture des sols s’est imposée depuis une vingtaine d’années comme un outil majeur dans l’analyse des pressions exercées par l’activité humaine sur les écosystèmes. Cette modélisation constitue de ce fait l’un des outils pertinents d’analyse des politiques de planification territorial...

La résolution des données spatiales généralement utilisées pour la cartographie des Services Ecosystémiques (SE) apparaît souvent trop grossière pour les analyses à des échelles locales. Nous proposons dans cet article une méthode pour mieux prendre en compte l'occupation et l'usage des sols (OS/US) à une résolution spatiale et temporelle fine, en...

Agriculture in mountainous regions shapes the landscape. However, given agriculture's decline, can it still act to maintain open spaces and prevent the land from returning to its wild state? Landscape changes vary from region to region and are determined by the type and scale of changes in farming practices and production systems. In this study, we...
