Abstract:
Tunisia is enriched by many natural resources (natural water and geothermal water) that are located along the South to the North. This paper aims mainly to evaluate the resources water potential. The available remote sensing images for two typical examples (SE Jeffara basin and Utique basin) are analyzed and many seismic profiles are interpreted to delineate the surface and subsurface structures. The 3-D structures of Mio-Plio-Quaternary and Upper Cretaceous aquifers in South-East of Jeffara basin show an important reservoirs of water resources. The Upper Cretaceous aquifer "Complexe Terminal" is one of the most typical examples of exploitation features in hydrogeological research. It is formed by fractured limestones. The 3D-structure of Utique basin shows an important variation of thickness of Mio-Plio-Quaternary and Triassic series. The Mio-Plio-Quaternary series is formed by sand, clays and gypsum. The Triassic series is considered typical example for research the hydrogeological and hydrothermal water in Tunisia, especially in the North. In the subsurface, the triassic aquifer of Utique regions is formed by carbonates series. The hot spring in Utique basin is directly related to the Triassic dolostones which are extensively fractured [1]. A geophysical survey was undertaken for groundwater in Tunisia. The interpretation of seismic reflection sections and petroleum wells allowed to precise the geometry in subsurface structure.

Abstract:
Tunisia is a very important World Natural Heritage Site, and no scientific exploitation of its resources regarding insect fauna has taken place. In this study, we present the first work on Carabidae collected fromexpeditions to theIchkeul and El Feidja national parks between 2012 and 2013. A total of 52 species classified into 33 genera, 14 tribes, and 6 subfamilies were found. Five of the captured species are endemic to North Africa; and two species, Acinopus haroldi Schaum, 1863 and Cryptophonus litigiosus litigiosus (Dejean, 1829) were recorded for the first time in Tunisia.

Abstract:
Groundwater is among the most available water resources in Tunisia; it is a vital natural resource in arid and semiarid regions. Located in north-eastern Tunisia, the Metline-Ras Jbel-Raf Raf aquifer is a mio-plio-quaternary shallow coastal aquifer, where groundwater is the most important source of water supply. The major ion hydrochemistry and environmental isotope composition (δ18O, δ2H) were investigated to identify the recharge sources and processes that affect the groundwater salinization. The combination of hydrogeochemical, isotopic, statistical, and GIS approaches demonstrates that the salinity and the groundwater composition are largely controlled by the water-rock interaction particularly the dissolution of evaporate minerals and the ion exchange process, the return flow of the irrigation water, agricultural fertilizers, and finally saltwater intrusion which started before 1980 and which is partially mitigated by the artificial recharge since 1993. As for the stable isotope signatures, results showed that groundwater samples lay on and around the local meteoric water line LMWL; hence, this arrangement signifies that the recharge of the Ras Jbel aquifer is ensured by recent recharge from Mediterranean air masses.

Abstract:
Changes in land use and land cover (LULC) are generally associated with environment pollution and the degradation of natural resources. Detecting LULC changes is essential to assess the impact on ecosystem services. The current research studies the impact of the LULC change on the soil loss and sediment export in a period of 43 years from 1972 to 2015. Landsat imageries were classified into five classes using a supervised classification method and the maximum likelihood Algorithm. Then, the sediment retention service for avoiding reservoir sedimentation was assessed using the InVEST SDR (integrated valuation of ecosystem services and trade-offs sediment delivery ratio) model. The results showed that the changes are very important in this study period (1972–2015). Forests were reduced by 18.72% and croplands were increased by approximately 54%. The InVEST SDR model simulation results reveal an increase in the sediment export and soil loss, respectively, from 1.68 to 5.57 t/ha/year and from 15.22 to 43.61 t/ha/year from the year 1972 to 2015. These results highlight the need for targeted policies on integrated land and water resource management. Then, it is important to improve the common understanding of land use and land cover dynamics to the different stakeholders. All these can help in projecting future changes in the LULC and to investigate more appropriate policy interventions for achieving better land and water management.

Abstract:
An important part of the landscape of irrigated areas in Tunisia is the result of morphology, organization and operation of agricultural policies implemented since independence, aimed at optimizing the exploitation of the best soils and natural resources, particularly water and productive crop intensification. The sustainability of the landscape of public irrigated areas has a strong bonding with the resources of irrigation water and their states of management. The scarcity of irrigation water due to drought generates profound changes in many public irrigated areas as Chott-Mariem and Mornag, like standpoint operating (decrease of production) and land occupation (transformation of agricultural land to urban land). An investigation was carried out with farmers, leaders and policy makers, which the result was a range of measures and recommendations to promote sustainability of agricultural landscape.

Abstract:
For several decades, many countries have favored irrigation as a means of regulating, diversifying, and increasing agricultural production to meet the growing domestic demand for food, and even to generate exportable surpluses. As with most Mediterranean countries, Tunisia has inherited a long tradition in irrigation; thus, the management of the scarcity of water resources poses a very important challenge that is gradually increasing due to the effects of climate change undergone by the region and confronting the agricultural sector. Aiming at a new model of sustainable development, ensuring the optimization of water resources management, as well as the protection of natural resources and the environment, this work proposed the modern design of a photovoltaic pumping chain dedicated for drip irrigation, which is controlled using an intelligent neuron-fuzzy controller with an ANFIS architecture and implemented on a Raspberry Pi platform. Thanks to this design, the efficiency of the pumping chain increased exponentially to a value of approximately 95%, achieving water pumping optimization while exploiting renewable energy resources, thus guaranteeing the longevity of water resources, as well as the continuity of diversified agricultural production.

Abstract:
The Mediterranean Sea is a marine biodiversity hotspot under threat. One of the major impacts on its biological resources and services comes from the invasiveness of non-indigenous species (NIS). Nevertheless, NIS monitoring programs in the south basin of the Mediterranean Sea are in an early implementation stage. This study aims to describe NIS and cryptogenic species distribution in Monastir Bay (Tunisia) and to identify risk areas for the introduction and spread of invasive species, providing a baseline for future monitoring programs. To this end, a series of Rapid Assessment Surveys were carried out to identify NIS and cryptogenic species in one marina, five fishing ports, two aquaculture farms and the Special Conservation Area of the Kuriat islands. 24 species were found, of which 11 constitute new records for Monastir Bay, which represent a 33.3% of the total NIS reported in this Bay. Assemblages differed between substrata types, being NIS more abundant in artificial than in natural substrata. Regarding locations, Cap Monastir Marina was the most invaded site, the most transited by vessels and the only one visited by international sailing. Hence, this marina constitutes the main risk area to be monitored, although the fishing ports and fishing farms in the semi-enclosed coastal lagoon of Monastir Bay can also be considered as risk areas. Nevertheless, more research effort is needed in Monastir Bay in order to update the records of NIS and cryptogenic species and increase insight on the ecological evolution of these species and their related impacts on natural communities and marine resources.

Abstract:
Soil and groundwater salinization are very important environmental issues of global concern. They threaten mainly the arid and semiarid regions characterized by dry climate conditions and an increase of irrigation practices. Among these regions, the south of Tunisia is considered, on the one hand, to be a salt-affected zone facing a twofold problem: The scarcity of water resources and the degradation of their quality due to the overexploitation of the aquifers for irrigation needs. On the other hand, this Tunisian landform is the only adequate area for planting date palm trees which provide the country with the first and most important exportation product. In order to maintain the existence of these oases and develop the date production, a good understanding of the salinization problem threatening this region, and the ability to predict its distribution and evolution, should not be underestimated. The work presented in this paper deals with the Oasis of Segdoud in southern Tunisia, with the objective of modeling the evaporation-driven salt precipitation processes at the soil profile scale and under real climatic conditions. The model used is based on the one developed and presented in a previous work. In order to fulfil the real field conditions, a further extension of the geochemical system of the existing model was required. The precipitated salts considered in this work were halite (NaCl), gypsum (CaSO4) and thenardite (Na2SO4). The extended model reproduces very well the same tendencies of the physico-chemical processes of the natural system in terms of the spatio-temporal distribution and evolution of the evaporation and multiple-salt precipitation. It sheds new lights on the simulation of sequences of salt precipitation in arid regions. The simulation results provide an analysis of the influence of salt precipitation on hydrodynamic properties of the porous medium (porosity and permeability). Moreover, the sensitivity analysis done here reveals the influence of the water table level on the evaporation rate.

Abstract:
Human Colonization of new lands implied historically the diffusion of new plant species and the exploitation of local plant resources and forests by human communities. Phoenician colonization in the 1st millennium BC had important consequences in Mediterranean agriculture and the exploitation of vegetation in colonized areas. Later, Roman agriculture introduced new changes. The anthracological analysis or charcoal analysis of the archaeological record of the site of Utica can inform us about the long term transformations in vegetation in North Africa. The original vegetation, consisting mainly of Pistacia lentiscus, would see its population reduced due to the implantation of non-intensive olive production in Phoenician and Punic periods. Nevertheless, since the Roman Imperial Period there was a strong decline of natural vegetation, in correlation of the important increment of olive trees, which indicate the presence of intensive oil production, mainly to be exported to Rome. Furthermore, the appearance of walnut trees presents novel data regarding the expansion of arboriculture throughout the Mediterranean in hand with the Phoenicians during the 1st millennium BC. The anthracological analysis of Utica presents important information regarding the natural vegetation that existed when the Phoenicians arrived, and the transformation that happened throughout time, corresponding to the management of the surrounding landscape during the Phoenician, Punic, and Roman periods.

Abstract:
En Tunisie centrale, l'intensification agricole de l’agriculture irriguée engendre des impacts environnementaux locaux et régionaux liés à une consommation accrue en intrants et ressources, dont l’eau et le sol. En faveur d'une agriculture plus durable et pour éclairer les politiques publiques de développement agricole, il est nécessaire d’évaluer les impacts des pratiques agricoles et d’aménagement de conservation des eaux et des sols (ACES), et ceci à l’échelle d’un territoire. La question est ainsi de savoir comment mettre en oeuvre une démarche d'évaluation environnementale dans un contexte 1) de rareté de données fiables y compris statistiques, et de complexité des pratiques agricoles, 2) de proéminence des questions socioéconomiques sur les préoccupations environnementales 3) de méconnaissance de la perception des acteurs locaux sur ces questions et donc de difficulté à identifier des indicateurs pertinents (sur le plan scientifique et des acteurs) et mobilisables. Nous proposons une démarche innovante de conception et mise en oeuvre d’une approche participative regroupant différents types d’acteurs, pour leur permettre d’appréhender mutuellement leurs logiques et leurs perceptions des impacts des pratiques agricoles et des ACES. Cette démarche est conçue pour produire de l’information de qualité en valorisant les savoirs locaux, partager et prendre en compte les perceptions des différents acteurs, et enfin construire des consensus pour contribuer à l’élaboration de politiques d’ACES plus efficaces. Elle a été structurée en deux grandes étapes : la conception en communauté de pratique articulée à un diagnostic rapide participatif systémique et la mise en oeuvre d’ateliers participatifs. L’évaluation a mobilisé un double dispositif comprenant des observateurs extérieurs et une enquête de satisfaction auprès des participants. Elle s’appuie sur une grille d’évaluation de cette démarche, de ses produits et des effets induits à court terme. Le partage et la prise en compte des informations et des données collectées, mais aussi des expertises et perceptions des différents acteurs, a permis de produire des informations jugées satisfaisantes ou très satisfaisantes par la totalité des participants. Cela a nourri les connaissances de la quasi-totalité des acteurs et a contribué à une dynamique constructive d’apprentissage collectif. Notre démarche a nettement contribué à l’évolution des perceptions et à une plus forte compréhension mutuelle des agents de l’administration et des agriculteurs. Un tableau de bord regroupant les indicateurs mobilisés par chaque acteur a été discuté et a permis de mettre en évidence convergences et différences dans leurs grilles d’analyse. La structuration progressive et adaptative de la démarche, les choix des acteurs, des lieux de réalisation des ateliers et le recours à un animateur neutre ont été des facteurs très importants pour l’engagement et la mobilisation des acteurs, en particulier au niveau central, dans cet espace opérationnel de concertation sur les enjeux territoriaux, les pratiques agricoles et les ACES. Ce travail démontre l’intérêt de l’intégration de l’ingénierie de la concertation et de l’évaluation environnementale au sein d’une même démarche et sa faisabilité dans un contexte difficile pour la mise en oeuvre de politiques d’ACES
IIn central Tunisia, the agricultural intensification of irrigated agriculture generates local and regional environmental impacts, linked to an increased consumption of inputs and resources, including water and soil. In favor of a more sustainable agriculture and in order to inform public policies of agricultural development, it is necessary to assess the impacts of agricultural practices and water and soil conservation planning (WSCP), and this at the territory scale. The question is how to implement an environmental assessment approach in a context of 1) scarcity of reliable data including statistics, and complexity of farming practices, 2) prominence of socio-economic issues over environmental concerns 3) lack of knowledge of the perception of local actors on these issues and therefore of difficulty in identifying relevant indicators (scientific and of the stakeholders) and mobilizable. We propose an innovative approach to design and implement a participative approach involving different types of actors, to enable them to get more insights into each other's logic and perceptions of the impacts of agricultural practices and WSCP. This approach is designed to produce quality information by valuing local knowledge, share and take into account the perceptions of different stakeholders, and finally, build a consensus to contribute to the development of more effective WSCP policies. This approach has been structured in two main stages: the design of a community of practices articulated to a participatory systemic rapid diagnosis and the implementation of participatory workshops. The evaluation mobilized a dual mechanism including external observers and a satisfaction survey among participants. The survey is based on an evaluation grid of this approach, its outcomes and its short term induced effect. Sharing and taking into account the information and data collected, as well as the expertise and perceptions of the various stakeholders, has made possible to produce information deemed satisfactory or very satisfactory by all the participants. This nourished the knowledge of almost all the stakeholders and contributed to a constructive dynamic of collective learning. Our approach has contributed significantly to the evolution of perceptions and to a stronger mutual understanding between government officials and farmers. A dashboard grouping the indicators mobilized by each stakeholder was discussed and allowed to highlight convergences and differences in their analysis grids. The gradual and adaptive structuring of the approach, the choices of the stakeholders, the venues for the workshops and the use of a neutral facilitator were very important factors for the commitment and the mobilization of the stakeholders, in particular at the central scale, in this operational space for consultation on territorial issues, agricultural practices and WSCP. This work demonstrates the interest of integrating the engineering of consultation and environmental assessment within one approach and its feasibility in a difficult context for the ACES policies implementation

Abstract:
Le développement d’outils de traitement automatique pour les dialectes de l’arabe se heurte à l’absence de ressources pour ces derniers. Comme conséquence d’une situation de diglossie, il existe une variante de l’arabe, l’arabe moderne standard, pour laquelle de nombreuses ressources ont été développées et ont permis de construire des outils de traitement automatique de la langue. Étant donné la proximité des dialectes de l’arabe, avec l’arabe moderne standard, une voie consiste à réaliser une conversion surfacique du dialecte vers l’arabe mo- derne standard afin de pouvoir utiliser les outils existants pour l’arabe standard. Dans ce travail, nous nous intéressons particulièrement au traitement du dialecte tunisien. Nous proposons un système de conversion du tunisien vers une forme approximative de l’arabe standard pour laquelle l’application des outils conçus pour ce dernier permet d’obtenir de bons résultats. Afin de valider cette approche, nous avons eu recours à un étiqueteur morphosyntaxique conçu pour l’étiquetage de l’arabe standard. Ce dernier permet d’assigner des étiquettes morphosyntaxiques à la sortie de notre système de conver- sion. Ces étiquettes sont finalement projetées sur le tunisien. Notre système atteint une précision de 89% suite à la conversion qui repré- sente une augmentation absolue de ∼20% par rapport à l’étiquetage d’avant la conversion
Developing natural language processing tools usually requires a large number of resources (lexica, annotated corpora, ...), which often do not exist for less- resourced languages. One way to overcome the problem of lack of resources is to devote substantial efforts to build new ones from scratch. Another approach is to exploit existing resources of closely related languages. Taking advantage of the closeness of standard Arabic and its dialects, one way to solve the problem of limited resources, consists in performing a conversion of Arabic dialects into standard Arabic in order to use the tools developed to handle the latter. In this work, we focus especially on processing Tunisian Arabic dialect. We propose a conversion system of Tunisian into a closely form of standard Arabic for which the application of natural language processing tools designed for the latter provides good results. In order to validate our approach, we focused on part-of-speech tagging. Our system achieved an accuracy of 89% which presents ∼20% of absolute improvement over a standard Arabic tagger baseline

Abstract:
La protection des ressources naturelles marines est un enjeu fort pour les décideurs publics. Le développement récent des aires marines protégées (AMP) contribue à ces enjeux de préservation. Les AMP ont pour objectifs de conserver les écosystèmes marins et côtiers tout en favorisant les activités humaines. La complexité de ces objectifs les rend difficiles à atteindre. L’objectif de cette thèse est de mener une analyse ex ante d’un projet d’une AMP aux îles Kuriat (Tunisie). Cette analyse représente une aide aux décideurs pour une meilleure gouvernance en intégrant les acteurs impliqués (pêcheur, visiteur, plaisancier) dans le processus de gestion. Pour ce faire, nous appliquons la méthode d’évaluation contingente (MEC) à des échantillons des pêcheurs et des visiteurs aux îles Kuriat. Nous nous intéressons au traitement des biais de sélection et d’échantillonnage et à l’incertitude sur la spécification des modèles économétriques lors de la mise en œuvre de la MEC. Nous faisons appel au modèle HeckitBMA,qui est une combinaison du modèle de Heckman (1979) et de l’inférence bayésienne, pour calculer le consentement à recevoir des pêcheurs. Nous utilisons aussi le modèle Zero inflated ordered probit (ZIOP), qui est une combinaison d’un probit binaire avec un probit ordonné, pour calculer le consentement à payer des visiteurs après avoir corrigé l’échantillon par imputation multiple. Nos résultats montrent que les groupes d’acteurs se distinguent par leur activité et leur situation économique ce qui les amène à avoir des perceptions différentes. Cela permet aux décideurs d’élaborer une politique de compensation permettant d’indemniser les acteurs ayant subi un préjudice
The protection of marine natural resources is a major challenge for policy makers. The recent development of marine protected areas (MPAs) contributes to the preservation issues. MPAs are aimed to preserve the marine and coastal ecosystems while promoting human activities. The complexity of these objectives makes them difficult to reach. The purpose of this work is to conduct an ex-ante analysis of a proposed MPA to Kuriat Islands (Tunisia). This analysis is an aid to decision makers for better governance by integrating the actors involved (fisherman, visitor, boater) in the management process. To do this, we use the contingent valuation method (CVM) to samples of fishermen and visitors to the islands Kuriat. We are interested in the treatment of selection and sampling bias and uncertainty about specifying econometric models during the implementation of the CVM. We use the model HeckitBMA, which is a combination of the Heckman model (1979) and Bayesian inference, to calculate the willingness to accept of fishermen. We also use the model Zero inflated ordered probit (ZIOP), which is a combination of a binary probit with an ordered probit, to calculate the willingness to pay of visitors after correcting the sample by multiple imputation. Our results show that groups of actors are distinguished by their activity and economic conditions that cause them to have different perceptions. This allows policy makers to develop a policy of compensation to compensate the players who have been harmed

Abstract:
Plants interact with beneficial microbes living in their rhizosphere, promoting their growth and development. In arid ecosystems, specific plant-associated microbes grant plants access to nutrients that would otherwise be inaccessible. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are probably one of the better known belowground functional networks with plants. AMF plays a crucial role in plant performance and consequently in ecosystem functioning. AMF activities also determine the bio-availability of nutrients and therefore soil fertility. The main objective of the present study was to evaluate the plant-AMF interactions on soil functions under arid ecosystem in Tunisia. AMF colonization was evaluated by visual observation of AMF in fine roots of Astragalus corrugatus and Lotus creticus on Bou-Hedma National Park in Tunisia. Mycorrhizal colonization varied between plants, and the spore number was significantly different across rhizosphere soils. Statistical analysis showed a clearly positive correlation between the number of spores and plant-mycorrhizal intensity. For microbiological proprieties, our results showed that mycorrhizal plants improved significantly the different microbiological parameters. The results of the present study specified the association plant-AMF and highlight AMF importance as a tailored mechanism of plant adaptation to arid ecosystems.

Abstract:
For many decades in Tunisia, there has been a robust link between natural resource management and contentious national and local politics. These disputes manifest in the form of protests, sit-ins, the disruption of production and distribution and legal suits on the one hand, and corporate and government response using coercive and concessionary measures on the other. Residents of resource-rich areas and their allies protest the inequitable distribution of their local natural wealth and the degradation of their health, land, water, soil and air. They contest a dynamic that tends to bring greater benefit to Tunisia’s coastal metropolitan areas. Natural resource exploitation is also a source of livelihoods and the contentious politics around them have, at times, led to somewhat more equitable relationships. The most important actors in these contentious politics include citizens, activists, local NGOs, local and national government, international commercial interests, international NGOs and multilateral organisations. These politics fit into wider and very longstanding patterns of wealth distribution in Tunisia and were part of the popular alienation that drove the uprising of 2011. In many ways, the dynamic of the contentious politics is fundamentally unchanged since prior to the uprising and protests have taken place within the same month of writing of this paper. Looking onto this scene, commentators use the frame of margins versus centre (‘marginalization’), and also apply the lens of labour versus capital. If this latter lens is applied, not only is there continuity from prior to 2011, there is continuity with the colonial era when natural resource extraction was first industrialised and internationalised. In these ways, the management of Tunisia’s natural wealth is a significant part of the country’s serious political and economic challenges, making it a major factor in the street politics unfolding at the time of writing.
