Abstract
The shrublands in the mountains of the North-western Algeria were strongly affected by drought and fire. The degradation of these mountains for the benefit of crops and pastures affects more than 20% of the area occupied by these ecosystems. The analysis of biodiversity at these sites, through 04 stations (Tlemcen, Hafir, Sidi Djilali and Sebdou), shows a predominance of therophytes. Chamephytes (shrubs) also have an important place in the biological type. As regards, the phytogeographic aspect; Mediterranean species dominate with a high percentage of taxa. The characterization of ecological gradients, which influence the plant structure in the region, shows that physiognomic, latitudinal and altitudinal gradients affect biodiversity in this area. This ecological approach could be used to reorganize research topics with a global model for conservative management of these natural habitats.Downloads
