This study assesses the conservation effectiveness of 21 protected areas (PAs) in Northern Morocco, comprising 3 parks and 18 Sites of Ecological and Biological Interest (SBEIs), against five major landscape pressures (LSPs): deforestation, infrastructure extension, agricultural expansion, fires, and population growth. We propose a novel quantitati...

Formulating effective policies to address or mitigate deforestation requires a comprehensive understanding of the contributing factors. This study examines the drivers of deforestation from 2001 to 2020 in the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima (TTA) region, a northern Moroccan area distinguished by the country’s highest deforestation rate. Through an exte...

Évaluation du risque d'incendies de forêt en utilisant l'analyse des points chauds et application des résultats à la réponse stratégique aux incendies de forêt dans la région de Tanger-Tétouan-Al Hoceima, au Maroc.

Analyse spatio-temporelle et identification des points chauds de déforestation dans le Rif occidental marocain

Le Rif occidental (nord du Maroc) abrite des forêts caractérisées par une phytodiversité particulière, notamment en espèces ligneuses. Parmi les plus remarquables, on trouve la sapinière du Maroc (Abies marocana Trab. ≡ Abies pinsapo subsp. marocana (Trab.) Emb. & Maire). Ce travail ambitionne, pour la première fois, d’exposer une synthèse bibliogr...

Evaluation des risques d’incendies de forêt par l’analyse des points chauds et application des résultats à la réponse stratégique aux incendies de forêt dans la région Tanger-Tétouan-Al Hoceima, Maroc

In recent years, changes in climate, land cover, and sociodemographic dynamics have created new challenges in wildfire management. As a result, advanced and integrated approaches in wildfire science have emerged. The objective of our study is to use geospatial analysis to identify strategic responses to wildfires in the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima (...

In the north of Morocco, forest areas are under threat mainly due to the expansion of agricultural land, forest fires and socio-demographic, economic and urban dynamics. Despite the magnitude of deforestation in this area, quantitative studies and investigations of its evolution in time and space are rare or non-existent. The present study aims to...

La dégradation accélérée des forêts est un défi majeur pour les gestionnaires. Le reboisement constitue alors une solution importante pour l’amélioration des services écosystémiques voire la survie des écosystèmes. Comparée à d’autres essences comme l’Eucalyptus, les pins renferment une biodiversité plus élevée. Nous avons étudié la phytodiversité...

Fire is a concern for the sustainability of dry forests such as those of the Mediterranean region, especially under warming climate and high human use. We used data derived from Landsat and MODIS sensors to assess forest changes in the Talassemtane National Park (TNP) in North Africa from 2003–2018. The Talassemtane National Park is a protected are...

Moroccan fir (Abies marocana Trabut) located in Talassemtane National Park, is endemic species of the Moroccan Rif, classified as "endangered" in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Since the beginning of the last century, this species has suffered 70% habitat loss. However, despite its bioecological, economic and social importance , Moroccan...

Aim of study: Understanding small-scale patterns caused by stochastic factors or community interactions driving forest structure and diversity of Moroccan fir Abies marocana Trab. Area of study: Talassemtane fir forest, Talassemtane National Park, Rif Mountains, northern Morocco. Material and methods: Eight plots representative of the structural...

This work focuses on mapping the main bioclimatic factors in the region of Tangier-Tetouan (western Rif) in Morocco. This is with the view of integrating them into the modeling of the potential distribution of native plant species. These factors include the Annual Mean precipitation (Pmoy), Annual Mean Temperature (Tmoy), mean maximum temperature o...
