Résumé anglais Until recently biogeographers have shown little interest in the study of wastelands. However, in 1987 and 1989 twoattempts were made in the northern part of the Pays d'Auge in the department of Calvados. This work led to the development of a methodology : the concept of the geosystem has been used and adapted to the question of abandoned land. Wasteland is seen as an uncultivated area, characterised both by relatively stable inputs - superficial topographic formations, stationary bioclimates - and by variable inputs - physiognomy and flora. The future development of uncultivated areas is closely linked to man's decisions.
