    Abstract Many pastoral farmers are searching for ways to lower the carbon emission footprint that is generated by livestock. Planting trees on the farm is currently a popular option for farmers to offset their emissions yet requires knowledge of suitable tree species and locations to plant them. This paper describes a decision-support tool aimed at helping farmers to create and visualise different planting designs while balancing the objectives of sequestering carbon and maintaining farm profitability. We take an innovative approach by combining virtual reality technology with biophysical models to create an environment where the user can actively create virtual future farm scenarios. Through the creation process, the user can simultaneously balance multiple objectives including farm aesthetics, economic returns, business and environmental ambitions, and carbon emissions (net) balance. For this proof-of-concept study, we incorporate virtual reality technology in Unreal Engine, environmental and financial data, and high-resolution spatial layers from an operational 400-hectare livestock farm in New Zealand.

    Abstract La modélisation et la projection de changements d’usage et de couverture des sols s’est imposée depuis une vingtaine d’années comme un outil majeur dans l’analyse des pressions exercées par l’activité humaine sur les écosystèmes. Cette modélisation constitue de ce fait l’un des outils pertinents d’analyse des politiques de planification territoriale dans le but d’évaluer ou d’anticiper leurs impacts environnementaux, notamment les impacts sur les services écosystémiques. À partir des principaux résultats obtenus en termes de changement de couverture et d'usage des sols, cet article présente la logique d'une modélisation élaborée pour représenter différentes dynamiques du territoire isérois et montre l’utilité de ce genre d’approche pour l’aide à la décision publique dans la planification territoriale.

    Abstract Physically and socially heterogeneous mountain landscapes support high biodiversity and multiple ecosystem services. But rapid landscape transformation from fast urbanisation and agricultural intensification around cities to abandonment and depopulation in higher and more remote districts, raises urgent environmental and planning issues. For anticipating their future in a highly uncertain socio-economic context, we engaged stakeholders of a dynamic urban region of the French Alps in an exemplary interactive participatory scenario planning (PSP) for co-creating salient, credible and legitimate scenarios. Stakeholders helped researchers adapt, downscale and spatialize four normative visions from the regional government, co-producing four storylines of trend versus break-away futures. Stakeholder input, combined with planning documents and analyses of recent dynamics, enabled parameterisation of high-resolution models of urban expansion, agriculture and forest dynamics. With similar storylines in spite of stakeholders insisting on different governance arrangements, both trend scenarios met current local and European planning objectives of containing urban expansion and limiting loss and fragmentation of agricultural land. Both break-away scenarios induced considerable conversion from agriculture to forest, but with highly distinctive patterns. Under a commonly investigated, deregulated liberal economic context, encroachment was random and patchy across valleys and mountains. A novel reinforced nature protection scenario affecting primarily mountain and hilly areas fostered deliberate consolidation of forested areas and connectivity. This transdisciplinary approach demonstrated the potential of combining downscaled normative scenarios with local, spatially-precise dynamics informed by stakeholders for local appropriation of top-down visions, and for supporting land planning and subsequent assessment of ecosystem service trade-offs.

    Abstract La résolution des données spatiales généralement utilisées pour la cartographie des services écosystémiques apparaît souvent trop grossière pour les analyses à des échelles locales. Dans cet article, une méthode est proposée pour mieux prendre en compte l’occupation du sol à une résolution spatiale et temporelle fine, en incluant les successions culturales. Utilisée pour l'analyse des dynamiques paysagères observées autour du bassin de vie de Grenoble, cette méthode a permis de produire une base de données très précises pour mieux décrire l'occupation et l'usage des sols, et ainsi améliorer significativement les évaluations de service écosystémiques.
