Abstract
The objectives of this PhD study are to:
1) analyse carbon dynamics in West-African savannas at the plot to territory level
2) propose a generic multi-agent conceptual model allowing, multi-level analysis which deals efficiently with system heterogeneity and integration of social, economical, physical and biological dimensions
3) propose a generic multi-agent model for the analysis of carbon dynamics in West-African savannas from the plot to territory level
4) analyze the sensitivity of the dynamics of C resources and GHG balance to global economic and environmental policies, and local networks of decision
5) couple the Century general ecosystem model with the MAS model.
