Abstract
The modelling of land use and land cover changes is essential to the assessment of consequent environmental impacts. The L1 platform, a domain specific language has been used to model dynamically possible evolution of an agricultural patchy landscape through the simulation of both land use- land cover and landscape features changes considering the multi-scaled natural forces and human decisions. The aim of the paper is to estimate L1 ability to produce such simulations. The outcomes show the plausibility of the simulations performed by the model for the 1981-1998 period on a small watershed in Brittany and highlight the influence of farm dynamics on landscape evolution.
