Abstract
This research project concerns a phytosociological study of the ecosystems of the Diawling National Park (PND) and its peripheral zone. This work allowed us to identify three plant groups: steppe plant grouping characteristic of the dune systems, vegetable grouping characteristic of the floodable environment, vegetable grouping characteristic of the salty environments and Sebkha.
