This study examines rainfall erosion dynamics in Oued Kert basin in Morocco, focusing on the influence of seasonal rainfall variations on soil erosion. Optimizing the use of rainfall data from free satellite sources is meant primarily to help natural resource managers make decisions. The research acquired precise precipitation estimates for the bas...

This study focuses on the use of the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model for water budgeting and resource planning in Oued Cherraa basin. The combination of hydrological models such as SWAT with reliable meteorological data makes it possible to simulate water availability and manage water resources. In this study, the SWAT model was employe...

The Oued Kert watershed in Morocco is essential for local biodiversity and agriculture, yet it faces significant challenges due to meteorological drought. This research addresses an urgent issue by aiming to understand the impacts of drought on vegetation, which is crucial for food security and water resource management. Despite previous studies on...

Modeling river flow is crucial for developing comprehensive water resource management plans, especially in poorly gauged basins like that of Oued Cherraa in eastern Morocco. In regions where direct monitoring can be challenging, modeling serves as an alternative method for acquiring streamflow data. Understanding the hydrological response of waters...

This article aims to analyse pastoralists' adaptation practices to climate change (CC), taking into account their social categorization, as well as to determine the factors affecting the implementation of these endogenous adaptation responses. Data collected from a survey of 167 herders were analyzed using the Chi-square test of homogeneity, Kruska...

Since the mid-1970s, the high plateaus of eastern Morocco have experienced proven trends of climate change (CC) such as a significant decrease in rainfall amounts and an increase in the droughts’ frequency. Consequently, the CC threatens the sustainability of this pastoral ecosystem and negatively affects the breeding of small ruminants, the main l...

Climate Change (CC) poses a serious threat and challenge to the sustainability of Morocco's arid rangelands and the pasture-based small ruminant rearing, which is the backbone of the economy of local rural households. Extensive livestock raising is increasingly vulnerable to CC due to the low adaptive capacities of pastoralists and its over relianc...

ABSTRACT Morocco's rangelands cover an area of over 500,000 km2, are mainly located in arid areas and play economic, sociocultural and environmental roles. Since the mid-1970s, the high plateaus of eastern Morocco (HPEM), which are the country's second largest pastoral ecosystem, have shown obvious manifestations of climate change (CC), thus threa...

In Morocco, rangelands extend over more than 500,000 km 2 , lie mainly in arid areas and play economic, socio-cultural and environmental roles. From the mid-1970s, the high plateaus of eastern Morocco, which are one of the country's largest pastoral ecosystems, have shown proven signs of climate change (CC), thus threatening their sustainability an...

Since the late 1970s, extensive livestock production in the high plateaus of Eastern Morocco, particularly of small ruminants, has been seriously threatened by climate change (CC). Negative impacts include reduction in rangeland forage production and water availability, increased poverty and inequality, and increased degradation of rangelands. Diff...

The high plateaus of eastern Morocco are already suffering from the adverse impacts of climate change (CC), as the local populations’ livelihoods depend mainly on extensive sheep farming and therefore on natural resources. This research identifies breeders’ perceptions about CC, examines whether they correspond to the recorded climate data and anal...

Climate change (CC) is a reality and a serious challenge in the pastoral ecosystem of the high plateaus of eastern Morocco, because since the end of the 70s, this area has experienced proven manifestations of CC such as a significant decrease in rainfall and an increase in droughts' frequency. Accordingly, small ruminant rearing, major livelihood,...
