Simulated land cover maps for 2080, 2100 and 2120 on the Haut Vicdessos (Pyrenees, France) considering pastoral land use changes scenarios

Scenarios based on 3 land use assumptions: A) Without pastoral management constraints: land cover changes between 2008 and 2080 (or 2100 or 2120) occur at the same rate as those observed between 1983 and 2008. B) Taking into account the agro-pastoral pressure defined by the agro-pastoral diagnoses established by the Ariège Pastoral Federation. Different pastoral pressure indices are assigned to the 16 Vicdessos summer pastures. C) Same scenario as B, except that only the estives with high agro-pastoral pressure will be maintained in the future with a maximum pressure index of 1 (for the other summer pastures, the index is 0). The herds of the abandoned summer pasture migrate to those that are maintained.
