Research thematic: Managing water resources within Mediterranean agrosystems by addressing structures, functioning and evolution trajectories, for both biophysical and socio-economical components, with a focus on agricultural land use planning for making trade-offs between ecosystem services. Activities: Observing and modeling water transfers within the soil - plant - atmosphere continuum for complex structures such as discontinuous canopies, hilly topographies, and heterogeneous landscapes. Integrating individual process models within multi-process modeling platforms for integrated analysis. Focus on in-situ / remote sensing observations along with parsimonious modelling for spatialisation purposes.
