Association de formes et de dynamiques dans le bassin-versant de l'Aubrière (Indre-et-Loire)

Abstract

Caroline Pinoteau and Francesca Di Pietro, The Association of Forms and Changes in the Aubrière Catchment Basin (Indre-et-Loire Department, France) Given developments in archeogeography, the results of an exploratory approach to crossing the morphology with the ecology of landscapes are presented. This study of formgiving elements in the landscape at Aubrière tests the notions of corridor and catchment basin. Combining these two disciplines into a single approach became possible once a specific pattern in organizing the landscape was identified: a river-plant-parcel network made up of emerging morphological corridors with a place for major biological habitats. This produces a network with scattered parcels. As can be seen through the geographical distribution of farming operations, this network still has pertinence since it includes meadows and dairy farms. © éditions de l'EHESS.
