\"Note - the area is not suitable for agriculture; it needs to be excluded from grazing (to limit the erosion processes) and covered with forest plantations, for example of Tetraclinis articulata.\"...
\"Note - same as land unit 20, but with more severe erosion dynamics. It could be afforested with Tetraclinis articulata, highly suitable for soil conservation.\"...
\"Note - in the last 15 years the forest plantation reduced the erosion processes. Pinus halepensis and Tetraclinis articulata should be adopted instead of Eucalyptus camaldulensis.\"

\"In the Mediterraneo-Saharan transition region, habitat degradation dates back to Antiquity and was already advanced in the first centuries of our time. Le Houérou (1986) indicates that dry forests, most often dominated by Pinus halepensis or [Thuja] Tetraclinis articulata occupied most of the arid zone. He shows that Stipa tenacissima steppes succeeded them but that they cannot regenerate in the absence of the protective shade of the trees [Thuja(Tetraclinis articulata)]\"

\"It is even clearer in the oasis region than in the Souss area that the lowlands alongside the desert are almost entirely reliant on the healthy state of the mountains for their major natural resources. This is particularly true for water resources but also applies to soils, as an average annual precipitation of less than three hundred
millimetres (Gaussen et al. 1958) is insufficient for the development of productive soils in situ, and these must be carried in from the Atlas mountains by surface waters.
The vegetation here is perfectly adapted to its harsh
environment. The forests of the southern slopes of
the High Atlas, while often very degraded, represent
nevertheless the true masterpiece of the natural resources
these mountains provide. Far-reaching rehabilitation
projects are planned for these forest resources, which are
essentially made up of....

\"The argan tree can also be used for conservation – preventing soil erosion, providing shade for pasture grasses, and promoting aquifer replenishment – creating an effective barrier to further desertification in North Africa. On the coastal hills, the
