This paper examines recent land use changes in the Mediterranean mountain setting of the Diois region of the Southern French Prealps, which has undergone considerable change related to evolution of the agro-sylvo-pastoral system and the decline
The aim of this book is to investigate the role of remote sensing in understanding and modelling land degradation processes. The research was carried out in the southern part of Ardèche province in France. Several degradation features are found

The foraging behaviour of a guild of insectivorous gleaning birds in relation to food availability was studied from October 1983 to August 1984 in a Larch (Larix decidua) forest of the Alpes-Maritimes, southernFrance.

The breeding biology and demography of Blue tit (Parus caerulens) and coal tit (Parus ater) populations of southernFrance and Corsica were compared from 1976 to 1980. The following differences were found: 1. the onset of the breeding season
in southernFrance, Corsican tits do not apparently breed at the time of maximum food abundance. The demographic strategies of the Corsican populations of Blue and Coal tits are apparently K-selected.
