- Abstract
Les grands programmes internationaux d'observation des écosystèmes, tels que le Millenium Ecosystem Assessment (Mea), puis Redd (Réduction des émissions liées à la déforestation et à la dégradation des forêts) et Redd+, préconisent le développement des approches permettant de quantifier et de spatialiser les services écosystémiques afin de mettre en oeuvre des pratiques et des politiques de gestion environnementale plus adaptées. La cartographie des services écosystémiques apparaît ainsi comme un outil majeur des espaces à forts enjeux environnementaux. Cependant, elle souffre encore de certaines limitations. C'est le cas du stock de carbone dans la biomasse végétale. À l'échelle d'une localité d'Amazonie brésilienne de 175 km², cette fonction écologique a été cartographiée avec une résolution spatiale de 30 x 30 m. Afin de quantifier ces stocks, des mesures de biomasse arborée et arbustive au sein de 45 " points " et des données géographiques obtenues par télédétection sont mises en jeu. Pour cela, deux méthodes statistiques sont testées : l'arbre de décision et la régression linéaire multiple. Les résultats statistiques de chacune de ces méthodes sont présentés, permettant d'en comprendre les intérêts et les inconvénients. La qualité d'ajustement de ces modèles est testée. Si l'arbre de décision décrit mieux le rôle des variables explicatives, la régression linéaire multiple permet une prédiction beaucoup plus efficace. Elle rend alors davantage compte de la variabilité spatiale au sein de chaque type d'occupation du sol. Cette méthode fait apparaître à l'échelle de la ferme des phénomènes spécifiques au territoire étudié. Cela permet de retranscrire simplement le résultat d'un processus écologique tout en le mettant en relation avec les activités anthropiques. Cette étude permet donc d'illustrer l'importance des choix méthodologiques afin d'obtenir la cartographie d'un processus.

- Abstract
Beaucoup d'études scientifiques ont été consacrées à la connaissance et à la conservation de la forêt amazonienne depuis plusieurs décennies. En revanche peu d'efforts ont été dédiés à l'optimisation économique, sociale et environnementale de l'utilisation des espaces déforestés (les fronts pionniers). Dans le projet de recherche ANR-AMAZ (Services eco-systèmiques des paysages agrosylvopastoraux amazoniens: Analyse des déterminants socio-économiques et simulation de scénarios, 2006-2010) nous avons réalisé un diagnostique multidisciplinaire sur 51 fermes de six régions d'Amazonie (au Brésil et en Colombie) colonisées depuis 15 à 60 ans. Les principaux résultats montrent qu'en fonction de l'intensité de l'utilisation des terres (nature et structure des paysages), l'efficacité de la production (revenu par hectare et par ferme) augmente sensiblement, mais qu'en revanche les indicateurs de biodiversité diminuent, alors que les services du sol (stockage de carbone, réserve en eau, nutriments) ont des réponses contrastées. Un indicateur d'éco-efficience ou d'éco-efficacité qui combine les indicateurs de bien-être social (Sb), d'efficacité économique (Ef), de biodiversité (Bd) et de services éco-systémiques (Es) montre un déclin certain lors du dépassement d'une valeur seuil de l'intensité d'utilisation des terres. Il est alors clairement mis en évidence que les systèmes de production basés sur l'agroforesterie ont une meilleure productivité que les systèmes d'élevage extensifs et surtout un meilleur indice d'éco-efficacité général comprenant un meilleur bien-être social, une plus grande efficacité économique, une plus forte biodiversité et de meilleurs services éco-systémiques liés au sol (stockage de carbone par exemple).

- Abstract
Total mercury (HgT) and monomethylmercury (MMHg) were investigated in a tropical head watershed (1 km(2)) of French Guiana. The watershed includes a pristine area on the hill slopes and a former gold mined flat in the bottomland. Concentrations of dissolved and particulate HgT and MMHg were measured in rain, throughfall, soil water and at three points along the stream. Samples were taken in-between and during 14 storm events at the beginning and middle of the 2005 and 2006 rainy seasons. Dissolved and particulate HgT concentrations in the stream slightly increased downstream, while dissolved and particulate MMHg concentrations were low at the pristine sub-watershed outlet (median = 0.006 ng L-1 and 1.84 ng g(-1), respectively) and sharply increased at the gold mined flat outlet (median = 0.056 ng L-1 and 6.80 ng g(-1), respectively). Oxisols, which are dominant in the pristine area act as a sink of HgT and MMHg from rain and throughfall inputs. Hydromorphic soils in the flat are strongly contaminated with Hg (including Hg droplets) and their structure has been disturbed by former gold-mining processes, leading to multiple stagnant water areas where biogeochemical conditions are favorable for methylation. In the former gold mined flat high dissolved MMHg concentrations (up to 0.8 ng L-1) were measured in puddles or suboxic soil pore waters, whereas high dissolved HgT concentrations were found in lower Eh conditions. Iron-reducing bacteria were suggested as the main methylators since highest concentrations for dissolved MMHg were associated with high dissolved ferrous iron concentrations. The connection between saturated areas and stagnant waters with the hydrographic network during rain events leads to the export of dissolved MMHg and HgT in stream waters, especially at the beginning of the rainy season. As both legal and illegal gold-mining continues to expand in French Guiana, an increase in dissolved and particulate MMHg emissions in the hydrographic network is ex

- Abstract
Sites of monomethylmercury (MMHg) production in Amazonian regions have been identified in hydraulic reservoirs, lake sediments and wetlands, but tailings ponds have not yet received sufficient attention for this purpose. This work evidenced high MMHg production within the water column and the interstitial water of two tailings ponds of French Guiana Au mines located; (i) in a small scale exploitation (Combat) where Hg was used for Au amalgamation, and (ii) in an industrial on-going Au mine (Yaoni) processing without Hg. The (MMHg)(D) maximum (2.5 ng L-1) occurred in the oxic water column above the sediment-water interface (SWI) of the most recent tailings pond (Combat), where the substrate was fresh, the redox transition was sharp and the pool of total Hg was large. In the Yaoni pond, the (MMHg)(D) maximum concentration (1.4 ng L-1) was located at the SWI where suboxic conditions prevailed. Using the (MMHg)(D) concentration as a proxy for Hg methylation rates, the present results show that Hg methylation may occur in various redox conditions in tailings ponds, and are favored in areas where the organic matter regeneration is more active. A 3-month long laboratory experiment was performed in oxic and anoxic boxes filled with high turbidity waters from the Combat Au mine to simulate tailings ponds. Slaked lime was added in an experimental set (2 mg L-1)and appeared to be very efficient for the reduction of suspended particulate matter (SPM) to environmentally acceptable concentrations. However, at the end of the experiment, large (MMHg)(D) concentrations were monitored under treated anoxic conditions with the (MMHg)(D) maximum located at the SWI above the Fe-reducing zones. No (MMHg)(D) was detected in oxic experiments. The use of slaked lime for SPM decantation appears to be an efficient and non-onerous process for Au miners to avoid Hg methylation in tailings ponds when it is combined with rapid drainage of the mine waters.

- Abstract
RésuméL’exportation du Code civil de 1804 s’explique par plusieurs causes, dont la force des armes, la séduction intellectuelle et l’absence d’autres modèles. Elle se réalisa sous diverses modalités : réception directe de la France, ou réception indirecte par l’intermédiaire d’un pays-relais. Elle eut pour objet tantôt le Code lui-même, littéralement, tantôt son esprit, tantôt le principe même d’une codification. De cette destinée du Code Napoléon, on peut conclure aujourd’hui à l’urgence pour la France de se doter d’un Code civil neuf., Several causes explain the export of the 1804 Civil Code, among which military force, intellectual attraction and the absence of alternative models. It was carried out in different forms : direct reception from France or indirect reception through an intermediary country. Its object was sometimes the Code as such, sometimes its spirit, and sometimes the very principle of codification. Given the fate of the Code Napoleon, one may conclude to the urgency for France to adopt a new Civil Code.

Elle se réalisa sous diverses modalités : réception directe de la France, ou réception indirecte par l’intermédiaire d’un pays-relais. Elle eut pour objet tantôt le Code lui-même, littéralement, tantôt son esprit, tantôt le principe même d’une codification. De cette destinée du Code Napoléon, on peut conclure aujourd’hui à l’urgence pour la France de se doter d’un Code civil neuf., Several causes explain the export of the 1804 Civil Code, among which military force, intellectual attraction and the absence of alternative models. It was carried out in different forms : direct reception from France or indirect reception through an intermediary country. Its object was sometimes the Code as such, sometimes its spirit, and sometimes the very principle of codification. Given the fate of the Code Napoleon, one may conclude to the urgency for France to adopt a new Civil Code.
