Séminaire OUR COMMON SOILS n°1 : les nouveaux horizons du sol urbain (introduction)

2017
Talks

Abstract

Dans le cadre du projet Our Common Soils : the Swiss City-Territory as a renewable resource, financé par le Fond National de la Recherche Scientifique pour une durée de quatre ans à compter du 1er octobre 2017, le Laboratoire d'urbanisme (EPFL Lab U) lance un cycle de sémi-naire de recherche dont les différentes sessions thématiques ont pour objectif d'explorer les relations entre le sol et la ville. La première session du séminaire Our Common Soils est dédiée aux nouveaux horizons de la pédologie urbaine, avec Joël AMOSSÉ (INRA, Ecotox), Emmanuel FROSSARD (FNS, PNR 68 " Utilisation durable de la ressource sol "), François FÜLLEMANN (Canton de Vaud, DGE, Pro-tection des sols), Christophe Schwartz (Uni. de Lorraine-INRA, LSE), Éric VERRECCHIA (UNIL, IDYST), Paola VIGANÒ (EPFL, Lab U).

Renewable resource

A renewable resource (also known as a flow resource) is a natural resource which will replenish to replace the portion depleted by usage and consumption, either through natural reproduction or other recurring processes in a finite amount of time in a human time scale. When the recovery rate of resources is unlikely to ever exceed a human time scale, these are called perpetual resources. Renewable resources are a part of Earth's natural environment and the largest components of its ecosphere.

Non-renewable resource

A non-renewable resource (also called a finite resource) is a natural resource that cannot be readily replaced by natural means at a pace quick enough to keep up with consumption. An example is carbon-based fossil fuels. The original organic matter, with the aid of heat and pressure, becomes a fuel such as oil or gas. Earth minerals and metal ores, fossil fuels (coal, petroleum, natural gas) and groundwater in certain aquifers are all considered non-renewable resources, though individual elements are always conserved (except in nuclear reactions, nuclear decay or atmospheric escape).

Natural resource

Natural resources are resources that are drawn from nature and used with few modifications. This includes the sources of valued characteristics such as commercial and industrial use, aesthetic value, scientific interest, and cultural value. On Earth, it includes sunlight, atmosphere, water, land, all minerals along with all vegetation, and wildlife. Natural resources are part of humanity's natural heritage or protected in nature reserves. Particular areas (such as the rainforest in Fatu-Hiva) often feature biodiversity and geodiversity in their ecosystems.
