Abstract


The Tazekka National Park, created in 1950 on an initial area of 680 hectares, located in the mountain range of the Eastern, Middle Atlas, offers a great variety in terms of the landscape and the diversity of forest populations. However, studies have reported that the park’s biodiversity is threatened due to anthropogenic and climatic factors. The aim of this work is to carry out a comparative study concerning the influence of climate change during the years 1985, 2007 and 2018 on the distribution of plant species in different stations of the Tazekka National Park (Ras al ma, Bab Boudir, Bab Azhar and Jbel Tazekka).

To carry out this work, several field trips were carried out. The results obtained in the form of GIS using the ArcGis 10.4.1 software have shown that climate change significantly influences the plant biodiversity of the Park. It is necessary to find assessment, monitoring and management strategies for these climate risks in order to preserve phytobiodiversity.
