Climate change, which is expected to continue in the future, increasingly becoming a major concern affecting many components of biodiversity and human society. Understanding its impacts on forest ecosystems essential for undertaking long-term management conservation strategies. This study was focused modeling potential distribution Quercus suber Maamora Forest, world’s largest lowland cork oak forest, under actual future climate conditions identifying environmental factors associated with...
Forest resources in the Ourika watershed are subject to several anthropogenic and climatic degradation factors. As for human factor, this of forest is explained by bad practices exercised local population expressed cutting live wood, carbonization, overgrazing. In terms decrease amount rainfall increase temperature contribute exacerbation these resources. order better understand evolution plant cover a changing climate context, study highlights an assessment impact change on dynamics based...

The Ourika watershed, located in the North-West of Moroccan High Atlas, has undergone several spatio-temporal changes and accelerated land use dynamics as a result interaction climatic, topographic anthropogenic factors. objective this study is to monitor evolution area over past 33 years. Landsat satellite imagery been chosen for cover mapping, providing sufficient detail identify characteristics while more or less complete coverage action. 5 Thematic Mapper images from 1987 8 Operational...
This article aims to shed light on the process of known degradation forest area Benslimane province during period 1990–2020 and specify most important human causes which contributed it (quarries, extension built-up area, impact agricultural activities, grazing collection firewood), by using remote sensing techniques (spatial images for years 1990–2000–2010–2020) produce Land Cover maps. The following satellite were used, Landsat 5 TM, 7 ETM+ 8 OLI, with a spatial precision 30 m,...
In Morocco, the phenomena of water erosion cause significant economic losses mainly linked to silting up dams, degradation equipment and socio-economic infrastructures, loss soil productivity insecurity population. The SWAT (Soil Water Assessment Tool) model was used estimate quantities sediments generated by various erosive processes at level Ourika watershed. modeling, which is done with daily time steps, as basic data; a Digital Elevation Model GDEM-ASTER (Global Elevation-Advanced Space...
