Abstract

Aquatic and hygrophile Moroccan ecosystems are very disturbed and in constant regression due to a very high human pressure. Almost all the units seen in the country exist in Europe. They do not show a great peculiarities, nevertheless their richness and diversity are quite important : fifty seven associations and/or groupements, four alliances, five orders and three classes:

  • Isoëto-Nanojuncetea

    • Isoëtetalia

  • Phragmito-Magnocaricetea

    • Bolboschoenetalia maritimi

      • Scirpion maritimi

    • Magnocaricetalia

      • Magnocaricion elatae

    • Nasturtio-Glycerietalia

      • Glycerio-Sparganion

    • Phragmitetalia

      • Phragmition communis

  • Potamogetonetea
