  • Benthic macro-invertebrates (insects, crustaceans, molluscs, worms) form an important link in the food chain. As part of the Sélune observatory, pilot stations have been set up along the main course of the Sélune, distributed from upstream to downstream of the hydroelectric dams. Three stations are located in the former reservoirs of the dams, while the other two, known as the reference stations, are outside the area of influence of the former dams (one downstream and the other upstream). At these stations, the aquatic biocenoses (including benthic macroinvertebrates, biofilms, macrophytes, etc.) are monitored. The parameters monitored are the taxonomic composition of the communities at 5 stations in the main river, located upstream, downstream and in the new lotic habitats. The sampling frequency involves two annual sampling campaigns (spring and autumn). The protocols implemented are the installation of 4 artificial substrates (SUBART) per station and a survey after 1 month of immersion as well as 12 Surber samples per station, in accordance with standard NF T 90-333 (2016), allowing the calculation of the I2M2 in accordance with standard NF T 90-388 (2020) and Mondy et al. 2012, 2012. This layer shows the location of the study sectors used to monitor benthic macroinvertebrates and the campaigns carried out.

  • Macrophytes are a group of aquatic plants. They are at the base of the food chain and can provide a habitat for many other species. As part of the Sélune Observatory, pilot stations have been set up along the main course of the Sélune, distributed from upstream to downstream of the hydroelectric dams. Three stations are located in the former reservoirs of the dams, while the other two, known as the reference stations, are outside the area of influence of the former dams (one downstream and the other upstream). At these stations, the aquatic biocenoses (including benthic macroinvertebrates, biofilms, macrophytes, etc.) are monitored. The parameters monitored are the specific composition and cover, at 8 stations in the main course located upstream, downstream and in the neolotic zones of the macrophyte communities. The monitoring frequency consists of one annual campaign for stations outside reservoirs (S0, S1 and S5) and two annual campaigns (spring/autumn) for neolotic stations (S2, S3.4, S4.1 and S6). The protocol used is the sampling protocol for macrophytes and bryophytes in accordance with standard NF T90-395 (October 2003), which defines the IBMR. The taxa are sampled for laboratory identification. This layer shows the location of the study sectors used for macrophyte monitoring, as well as the campaigns carried out and the mesology identified during these different campaigns.

  • Microbial communities play a major role in the functioning of ecosystems: they are at the base of the food chain (primary production) and participate in the degradation of organic matter. These communities are also known to respond rapidly to environmental changes. Like macro-invertebrates, they can be used as ecological indicators. Benthic diatoms are the main photosynthetic organisms in this biological community. The relative abundance of the various species is used to calculate an environmental quality index (EQI). Major differences in communities between the upstream and downstream zones were observed when the dams were in place. These differences will change once the dams are removed. As part of the Sélune observatory, pilot stations have been set up along the main course of the Sélune, distributed from upstream to downstream of the hydroelectric dams. Three stations are located in the former reservoirs of the dams, while the other two, known as the reference stations, are outside the area of influence of the former dams (one downstream and the other upstream). At these stations, aquatic biocenoses (including benthic macroinvertebrates, biofilms, macrophytes, etc.) are monitored. Since September 2014, the stations are ideally sampled every month from April to October (7 annual surveys) using artificial substrates (glass slides placed in the water). In addition to the diatom survey (floristic list, IBD calculation), the chlorophyll-a concentration is measured. This layer shows the location of the study sectors used to monitor photosynthetic biofilms and the campaigns carried out.

  • The re-establishment of the river continuum on the Sélune after the dams have been levelled will enable colonization of the upper reaches of the basin, which were previously inaccessible to eels. Before the dams were levelled, two main tributaries were used by amphihaline fish for reproduction, in addition to the main river: the Beuvron and the Oir. The eel population of the Sélune was monitored in the pre-flushing phase by abundance index campaigns carried out in 2013, 2015, 2019 on a network of stations covering the entire Sélune hydrographic network. Since 2021, this network of stations has evolved to monitor changes in the part of the watershed accessible following the dismantling of the 2 dams. These data enable us to estimate changes in eel abundance along the Sélune and its tributaries, as well as their size structure before and after the removal of the dams. The inventory is carried out in early September, every other year between 2013 and 2019, then every year since, using an electric fishing device and dip nets. Thirty thirty-second fishing stations are set up. A fishing station comprises approximately 100 meters of river. All eels caught are anaesthetized and biometric measurements are taken (weight, length, horizontal and vertical eye diameter, determination of yellow or silver stage). All eels are released directly at the fishing site. This layer provides station abundances by fishing session.

  • The spawning grounds of the sea lamprey Petromyzon marinus are located within the perimeter of the Sélune Observatory. As this species is migratory, its colonisation of the Sélune river and its tributaries will probably be influenced by the removal of the Sélune dams. The spawning grounds are characterised by a depression accompanied by a sediment ejection dome immediately downstream. The stones returned to the dome are lighter, making the nests easily visible and identifiable for up to several weeks after spawning.

  • Hyperspectral data were obtained during an acquisition campaign led on Toulouse (France) urban area on July 2015 using Hyspex instrument which provides 408 spectral bands spread over 0.4 – 2.5 μ. Flight altitude lead to 2 m spatial resolution images. Supervised SVN classification results for 600 urban trees according to a 3 level nomenclature: leaf type (5 classes), family (12 and 19 classes) and species (14 and 27 classes). The number of classes differ for the two latter as they depend on the minimum number of individuals considered (4 and 10 individuals per class respectively). Trees positions have been acquired using differential GPS and are given with centimetric to decimetric precision. A randomly selected subset of these trees has been used to train machine SVM and Random Forest classification algorithms. Those algorithms were applied to hyperspectral images using a number of classes for family (12 and 19 classes) and species (14 and 27 classes) levels defined according to the minimum number of individuals considered during training/validation process (4 and 10 individuals per class, respectively). Global classification precision for several training subsets is given by Brabant et al, 2019 (https://www.mdpi.com/470202) in terms of averaged overall accuracy (AOA) and averaged kappa index of agreement (AKIA).

  • Hyperspectral ENVI standard simulated images. Spatial and spectral configurations generated correspond to ESA SENTINEL-2 instrument that was lunched on 2015, and HYPXIM sensor which was under study at that time.

  • Cette carte a été produite dans le cadre du projet FUI-2012 SIRHYUS (Services d'Information pour la gestion des Ressources HYdriques et de leurs USages) et a bénéficié d'une aide de l'Etat gérée par l'Agence Nationale de la Recherche au titre du Programme Investissements d'Avenir pour le projet EQUIPEX GEOSUD ANR-10-EQPX-20.

  • Full hyperspectral VNIR-SWIR ENVI standard image obtained from the coregistration of both VNIR and SWIR ones through a signal aggregation process that allowed to obtain a synthetic VNIR 1.6 m spatial resolution image, with pixels exactly corresponding to natif SWIR image ones. First, a spatially resampled 1.6 m VNIR image was built, where output pixel values were calculated as the average of the VNIR 0.8 m pixel values that spatially contribute to it. Then, ground control points (GCP) were selected over both images and SWIR one was tied to the VNIR 1.6 m image using a bilinear resampling method using ENVI tool. This lead to a 1.6 m spatial resolution full VNIR-SWIR image.
