Ce travail propose détudier la variabilité spatiale et temporelle des sécheresses pluviométriques (absence prolongée de pluie) à léchelle de la France métropolitaine, depuis les années 1950 et pour chacune des quatre saisons (printemps, été, a[...]Article
The so-called European Migrant Crisis has been blamed on armed conflict and economic misery, particularly in the Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa. Some have suggested that this process has been exacerbated by climate change and weather event[...]Article
This article investigates the stability of farmers risk attitude over time. To this end, we estimate responses to changes in agricultural policies and production shocks. We use a unique panel data of over 36,000 Italian farms specialised in cer[...]Article
To minimize the negative impacts of climate change, adaptation is key. There are, however, a range of factors that, unless recognized and dealt with effectively, can prevent or disrupt adaptation efforts by farmers. Barriers to climate change ad[...]Article
Le changement climatique affecte considérablement la cédraie algérienne. Pas moins de trois épisodes de mortalité massive du cèdre de l'Atlas, principalement dus à des sécheresses récurrentes, ont été observés depuis la fin du XIX' siècle. L'imp[...]Article
En Algérie, le cèdre de l'Atlas présente une aire de répartition disjointe principalement liée à l'orographie. Les cédraies s'individualisent en îlots plus ou moins importants observés d'ouest en est sur les hauteurs de l'Atlas tellien et de l'A[...]Article
Les tendances climatiques des cédraies se situent dans les fourchettes des projections climatiques 2016-2035 du GIEC pour le Maroc. Elles sont caractérisées par une augmentation de la fréquence des années sèches, une tendance à la baisse des pré[...]Article
