Abstract

The grouping at Hammada scoparia is a steppe formation characteristic of the Saharan Atlas of Algeria develops at an altitude of 800 to 1400m and occupies sandy-loamy sandy-loam soils of the southern piedmont of the Saharan Atlas, the glacis and hamadas of the northern part of the Sahara. Hammada scoparia is an interesting species as a shrub 80 cm high and 10 cm in diameter to colonize these arid regions with a period of flowering that extends from November to January. This hardy species, resistant to harsh conditions (drought, salinity, and low rainfall), may be recommended for steppe planting for soil conservation and conservation.
