The recent development of large environmental databases allow the analysis of the ecological behaviour of species or communities over large territories. Solar radiation is a fundamental component of ecological processes, but is poorly used at this scale due to the lack of available data. Here we present a GIS program allowing to calculate solar radiation as well locally as at large scale, taking into account both topographical (slope, aspect, altitude, shadowing) and global (cloudiness and latitude) parameters. This model was applied to the whole of France (540 000 km(2)) for each month of the year, using only a 50-m digital elevation model (DEM), latitude values and cloudiness data. Solar radiation measured from 88 meteorological stations ...
