Forests of North Africa and Morocco: Phytoecological approaches ecological transition for biodiversity conservation adaptation to climate change

Forests of North Africa explores how phytoecology can support ecological transition, biodiversity conservation, and climate adaptation. Focusing on the rich yet vulnerable Mediterranean forests of the Maghreb, from Morocco to Tunisia, it highlights their importance for both ecosystems and local communities.The book offers a clear, integrated approach to forest phytoecology, combining key concepts, field methods, and practical insights to better understand forest composition, dynamics, and resilience. It calls for a shift away from purely extractive practices toward more sustainable, multifunctional management that protects long-term ecosystem health.Drawing on floristic diversity, adaptive strategies, and local knowledge, it provides practical tools for conservation and climate response. Aimed at researchers, students, forest managers, and policymakers, it promotes resilient forestry that balances ecological limits with human needs, ensuring these forests continue to support future generations.
