Pre‐industrial land‐use limits contemporary shrub encroachment in the French Alps

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Shrub encroachment has become a global phenomenon in recent decades. While global warming in the Arctic is often cited as the primary cause, human‐managed mountain regions have experienced intense historical land‐use that may also play a considerable role.

Beyond birds: rethinking bird‐centered pathogen models in light of insect migration

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Migration redistributes biomass, nutrients, and pathogens across ecosystems. For decades, migratory birds have been treated as the default long‐distance pathogen vectors, shaping both conceptual frameworks and empirical models of disease ecology.

Présences étrangères méditerranéennes sur la côte du Languedoc-Roussillon durant l’âge du Fer : de la fréquentation commerciale aux implantations durables

open access: yesPallas, 2010
Within a few decades, the assessment of foreign presence and its influence between the Rhine and the Pyrenees has undergone a major change. While archeologists used previously to refer essentially to the Greek settlement at Agde (Hérault) and to the ...

Projected Evolution of Climatic Aridity in Spain: Robust Signals and Model Uncertainties

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study examines the projected evolution of climatic aridity in Spain throughout the 21st century, using the UNEP Aridity Index and CMIP6 simulations under different emission scenarios and global warming levels. Despite model biases, results show a general increase in aridity across the country, particularly in southern regions and the Canary ...

Les enjeux érosifs dans le vignoble patrimonial à fortes pentes de Banyuls-sur-Mer (France)

open access: yesBelgeo, 2021
In the Banyuls-sur-Mer vineyard, in the Alberes mountains in the eastern Pyrenees, the very steep slopes and Mediterranean precipitations lead to severe erosion which has preoccupied winegrowers for centuries. Methodologically, using very high-resolution

Critical rainfall conditions for the initiation of torrential flows: results from the Rebaixader catchment (Central Pyrenees) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Torrential flows like debris flows or debris floods are fast movements formed by a mix of water and different amounts of unsorted solid material. They generally occur in steep torrents and pose high risk in mountainous areas.

Using AVAL-1D to simulate avalanches in the eastern Pyrenees [PDF]

open access: yesCold Regions Science and Technology, 2010
The two friction parameters used in the numerical avalanche dynamics program AVAL-1D, were calibrated empirically with data from observed avalanches in the Swiss Alps. The implementation of the model with these friction parameters in other regions with different characteristics can lead to considerable uncertainty if a previous calibration is not ...
