A Floristic Guide to Arid and Semi Plant Species of Naâma Region

This book focuses on the floristic diversity of arid and semi-arid environments in the Naâma Region of western Algeria. It presents a systematic inventory of plant species based on field surveys and standardized sampling methods. The work describes the taxonomic composition, biological forms, ecological adaptations, and spatial distribution of vegetation in steppe and pre-desert ecosystems. It highlights the ecological and conservation importance of key species such as Lygeum spartum, Atriplex halimus, Retama raetam, Pinus halepensis, and Tamarix articulata, while also addressing the main environmental and anthropogenic pressures affecting these fragile ecosystems. This floristic guide serves as a scientific reference for students, researchers, and environmental managers and aims to support biodiversity conservation, ecological monitoring, and restoration efforts in arid and semi-arid regions.
