Abstract (sommario):
The movements of nomadic species are poorly understood, being highly dynamic over time and space. There is an urgent need to better understand this group as current conservation approaches appear not to be providing adequate protection. In this thesis, I evaluate a survey method to monitor this dynamic group, assess environmental variables driving their movements over time, and explore how rainfall structures the overall avian community. To date, no standardized, large-scale monitoring has been carried out for arid zone or nomadic species. In Chapter 2, I describe a protocol for surveying this

Abstract (sommario):
This study investigates the ecology of an arid zone calcrete through an interdisciplinary design composed of multivariate analyses, hydrology, isotopic ecology and genetics. Our results indicate that the biotic community (microbes and stygofauna) is closely linked to the hydrodynamic conditions influenced by different rainfall regimes. The inflow of rainfall triggered shifts towards more deterministic dynamics, revealing a complex web of interactions. This investigation provides crucial untangling of the ecological dynamics regulating biotic communities in groundwaters.

Arid zones, such as the Kalahari in southern Africa, are experiencing an increase in the number of hot days, as well as in the intensity of heat waves. Research is being conducted to try and understand how increasing temperatures will impact bird communities and population persistence in these areas. Understanding the mechanisms through which birds are vulnerable to climate change is key to answering these questions. This study investigated how changes in air temperature affect arid-zone birds' response to predators. The flight initiation distances (FID), i.e. the distance from a predator when

Vegetation attributes were also measured to determine which factors explained patterns in the avifauna with distance from water, and also to allow a description of the vegetation in relation to the water points.

Abstract (sommario):
In Sudan, land degradation/desertification (LDD) has devastated large areas and consequently, it includes social, economic, and environmental aspects. LDD results from various factors, including climatic variation and human activities. Probably the LU practices and their changes have contributed to an increase of LDD in that area. Remote sensing technology has become unique and developed tool for providing temporal and spatial information for the LDD research and other environmental aspects. Determination of LDD and its relationship to land use pattern change (LUC) at spatiotemporal scale is r

Abstract (sommario):
Les données de la recharge des aquifères de socle au Sahel en Afrique de l'Ouest sont limitées en raison d'une connaissance insuffisante sur les mécanismes de recharge. Cette étude a été initiée dans le bassin versant à la rivière éphémère de Tougou (37 km2) pour améliorer la compréhension des mécanismes de recharge d'un aquifère de socle dans la zone sahélienne du Burkina Faso. Elle est basée sur des investigations menées de 2016 à 2020 sur un transect piézométrique et des puits de grand diamètre, respectivement perpendiculaires et longitudinaux à la rivière.

Abstract (sommario):
This research aims to analyze the environmental potentialities present in the effectiveness of area of organic agriculture in Sergipe Central Arid zone. It appears that the spreading of organic agriculture in Sergipe is taking place thanks to the construction of new social and environmental coexistence level values associated with the changes in management practices. The area of this analysis are the municipalities of Areia Branca, Itabaiana and Malhador, which are part of the territory of Central Sergipe Arid zone. To develop this research the study methodology was structured in three stages:
