satellite imagery and sunflower cultivation

We are working in the south-west of France in order to determine scenarios of the potential evolution of the agro-ecosystems, in response to anthropogenic and climatic pressures.
Land areas ranging from landscape to catchment and regional scales are concerned by a number of socio-economical and scientific issues.
Land management policies and resources management are planned and evaluated at these scales. In addition, very few studies are dealing with coupled budgets of carbon and water.
Our objective is to contribute to the understanding and modelling of land surface functioning at landscape and small regions scales and to develop knowledges and generic methods.
