Online published on 6 July, 2022. Abstract The study focuses on a floristic inventory according to an altitudinal gradient following a transect that includes five stations (Yakouren, Taddart, Tirsatine, Tizi Rached, Oued Aissi) located equidistant from the forest of Yakouren to the Sebaou Valley in Greater Kabyliarandom sampling was adopted during the spring season of 2015 by harvesting all the plant species encountered in a comprehensive manner, while focusing on their distribution taking into account environmental factors including climate, precipitation, rainfall, temperature, altitude and the nature of the substrate. The collected species are sorted, identified and counted. The recorded flora is divided into 5 classes (Magnoliopsida, Liliopsida, Pteridophyta, Monocotyledons and Equisetopsida), 25 orders divided into 27 families and 65 species. It shows the apparent impact of altitude and climate. Top Keywords Flora, Biodiversity, Altitude, Climate, Kabylia. Top |
