Our bryophytic surveys of the "Jbel Arz" forest (cedar mountain in Arabic) located in the central High Rif, in the North of Morocco, allowed us to inventory a list of 108 taxa of bryophytes including 93 mosses (64 acrocarps and 29 pleurocarps) and 15 liverworts (4 leaf liverworts and 11 thallus liverworts). The species richness confirms the clear d...

Journal home page: www.plantarchives.org Knowledge of the diversity of the bryophytic flora of the Tafoughalt massif in northeastern Morocco is insufficient and poorly known. The present study is the first bryological work on this massif. The bryophytic exploitation, which lasted three years (2015-2017) during periods favourable for sampling, revea...

From its Portuguese period, the historical city of Azemmour, on the Oum Errabia River banks, still boasts several monuments, including an imposing fortified wall. Among the factors of degradation that threaten this wall, we are particularly interested in the plant's action growing over this monument. The objective was to start by establishing a lis...

The objective of this study is to list the plant species colonizing the archaeological site of Volubilis in Morocco, in order to determine their ecological importance and their impact of biodeterioration. The site is located about twenty kilometers north of Meknes on an area of 42 ha. We have inventoried 94 species belonging to 33 families of highe...

During an in-depth bryological survey of the Tafoughalet massif, a site of biological, ecological and archaeological interest located in the northeast of Morocco, two new species were identified in the bryophytic flora of Morocco. These species are pleurocarpous mosses: Amblystegium serpens belonging to the Amblystegiaceae family, a mesophilic spec...

Plants with a high potential for dissemination are often an integral part of archaeological sites, which are essentially natural places and, indeed, have the conditions for plants to flourish. Conservators are thus frequently confronted with the aesthetic, chemical and mechanical disorders implied by the massive growth of vegetation. This study con...

Crossidium squamiferum (Viv) belongs to the Pottiaceae family. It was collected as part of our scientific explorations which aim to identify vascular and non-vascular plants at the Volubilis site. This work aims to describe this species in its archaeological environment. It is installed in the joints between the bricks on the ancient walls of the s...

The archaeological site of Volubilis (Morocco) is located at the foot of Djebel Zerhoun, three km from the small town of Moulay Idriss, in the suburbs of Meknes. It overlooks a vast plain whose natural conditions and geographical position have favored the settlement of several plant species, particularly vascular plants. For this reason, the object...
