abstract = {We performed a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the scientific literature on ecosystem services in order to help tracing a research agenda for agricultural sciences. The ecosystem services concept now lies at the heart of current developments to address global environmental change. Do agricultural sciences generate knowledge that covers this emerging theme? An analysis of scientific production allowed us to return to the ecological origins of this concept and see how little it has been appropriated by agricultural sciences until now, despite major focus on the issue of agro-ecosystems in the literature. Agricultural sciences tend to be more active in the field of environmental services, defined as services rendered by humans to ecosystems. The main studied services are those which have already been clearly identified and which act in synergy. Less attention is paid to the antagonisms between different services. These findings call for the implementation of agricultural research programmes that will consider the socio-agro-ecosystem as a whole and broaden the traditional issues addressed by agricultural sciences. We insist on three main management and operational issues that needs to be overcome if this is to be done: working at the landscape scale, increasing inter-disciplinary collaborations and take uncertainties into account.},

abstract = {This article proposes an original analysis of the international debate on climate change through the use of digital methods. Its originality is twofold. First, it examines a corpus of reports covering 18 years of international climate negotiations, a dataset never explored before through digital techniques. This corpus is particularly interesting because it provides the most consistent and detailed reporting of the negotiations of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Second, in this paper we test an original approach to text analysis that combines automatic extractions and manual selection of the key issue-terms. Through this mixed approach, we tried to obtain relevant findings without imposing them on our corpus. The originality of our corpus and of our approach encouraged us to question some of the habits of digital research and confront three common misunderstandings about digital methods that we discuss in the first part of the article (section ‘Three misunderstandings on digital methods in social sciences’). In addition to reflecting on methodology, however, we also wanted to offer some substantial contribution to the understanding of UN-framed climate diplomacy. In the second part of the article (section ‘Three maps on climate negotiations’) we will therefore introduce some of the preliminary results of our analysis. By discussing three visualizations, we will analyze the thematic articulation of the climatic negotiations, the rise and fall of these themes over time and the visibility of different countries in the debate. },

abstract = {Les négociations au sein de Convention cadre des Nations Unies sur les changements climatiques (CCNUCC) connaissaient une inflation thématique incessante à l’aune des intérêts et cadrages souvent concurrents des Parties. En témoigne la place acquise par le thème controversé de l’adaptation aux impacts du changement climatique. Cartographier ce phénomène complexe constitue un défi pour l’analyse quali-quantitative des problèmes publics que cet article adresse en présentant et en discutant une expérience de production et visualisation de données sur configuration de l’espace thématique des négociations et son déploiement dans le temps. Par un changement d’échelle et des allers-retours entre visualisation et narration, il est dès lors possible de réduire et redire la complexité pour rendre compte de la trajectoire de l’adaptation. Celui-ci n’est, cependant, qu’un exemple parmi les multiples histoires, fondées sur la modélisation des données, qui peuvent être produites. Ainsi, ce type de visualisations porte un potentiel en tant qu’objet frontière pour discuter les enjeux passés, présents et futurs à l’aune d’une vue synoptique du processus.},
