  abstract = {{I}n the framework of the implementation of the national action plan ({NAP}) as part of the {UNCCD}, a network of observatories for the assessment and monitoring of desertification has been established, covering the main agro-ecological zones of {T}unisia. {M}enzel {H}abib represents one of the main observatories located in a typical arid zone threatened by desertification. {T}his site is also part of the {ROSELT}3/{OSS}4 network and the arid zones observatory implemented by {IRA} within the framework of the national monitoring system of desertification coordinated by the national focal point of the {UNCCD}. {I}t is in this framework that the {GIS}-based model {LEIS} ({L}ocal {E}nvironmental {I}nformation {S}ystem) (in {F}rench known as {SIEL}) developed by the {ROSELT} team in {M}ontpellier ({R}oselt/{OSS}, {DS}3, 2004) was applied to this observatory. {T}he data used were issued from achieved and on-going multidisciplinary monitoring of the observatory covering the biophysical (soil, water, climate, vegetation) and the agro-socio-economic (population, agricul ture and pasture practices, land uses, etc.) aspects. {T}hree types of information were used: remotely sensed data (satellite images), field measurements (vegetation bio-mass, yields, {GPS}, etc.), and socio-economic surveys (households, income, activi ties, etc.). {M}ultiple scenarios have been conducted to assess the impact of changing one or many parameters (population, livestock, etc.). {I}n fact, the final objective of the model is to place at the disposal of the various actors of development, research ers and technicians, a {S}patial {D}ecision {S}upport {S}ystem ({SDSS}) for planning and monitoring in plans to combat desertification and natural resources management in the dry areas.},
