This thesis emphasises the interest of models and methods initially developed in physics to study ecological systems with two examples. The first one concerns the dynamic of the interface between humid tropical forests and peri-forest savannas. FORSAT is a stochastic cellular automata modelling the two key processes sustaining the vegetation dynamics: the succession cycle (pioneer forest species installation in savannas) and man-induced savanna fires. The analysis of the model indicates that forest and savanna can be interpreted as two phases of a same system and that a phase transition occurs, the control parameters of which are an environmental factor (representing the ability for forest species to grow in savanna, influenced by climate o...
