Abstract

The atlantic cork oak of benslimane emerges a specific problematic where several constraints cause, continuously, a very accentuated pressure. The resilience of the forest has diminished considerably and the signs of its degradation are very apparent. Indeed, rural poverty and population growth are highly dependent on natural resources and their misuse. This results in overgrazing and illegal woodcutting. The results of other studies based on remote sensing and GIS techniques have found that cork oak and Tetraclinis, which are the main species of the Benslimane forest, have experienced a clear regression, namely 35% of the surface area of the forest. cork oak and 50% of the area of Tetraclinis compared to their initial area in 1994 [1]. The degradation of the forest of Benslimane is not a new phenomenon, already the action of man on this natural environment was manifested at the beginning of the century, but it has particularly accentuated these three last decades because interference from several natural, forest management and anthropogenic factors. This article aims to analyze anthropogenic impacts on the degradation of the Benslimane forest. The analysis of offenses statistics, taking into account their interannual variability, over a period of 32 years (1984 - 2015), made it possible to deduce that the number of offenses drawn up by foresters during this period is 399 offenses for the overgrazing; 37% of all offenses. While the number offenses of cutting and removal of wood is of the order of 243 offenses, or 23% of the total of the offenses drawn up, an average of 33,4 offenses / year, all categories taken together ; of which 8 offenses / year of wood cutting; the equivalent of a volume of 24.5 m3 / year. Physical losses by forest species are estimated at 18.4 m3 / year for cork oak and 6.1 m3 / year for Tetraclinis; which is relatively low compared to other similar Moroccan forests.
