A. Annexes, 3 Paramètres inuents A travers les tableaux d'indices de sensibilité, on peut déterminer les paramètres les plus inuents, et les grandeurs les plus sensibles

. La-teneur-en, m (dans l'horizon H2) est sensible à la plupart des paramètres d'entrée. Cet horizon semble donc jouer un rôle prépondérant pour l'hydrodynamique du site d'étude. La teneur en eau dans le sol à 20 cm (dans l'horizon H1) est inuencée par moins de paramètres mais est plus sensible (biais plus élevé) aux caractéristiques de végétation. Enn, ces sensibilités se retrouvent agrégées dans le ux de chaleur sensible H. Ces sensibilités de H traduisent en fait la sensibilité de LE via le

R. De-nouveau,-vis-À-vis-du, cet horizon semble être un réservoir intégrateur des processus hydrologiques du site d'étude. De même
