Summary
The general principles of forest management, while generally known, have shown difficulties in their application to forest
ecosystems in arid zones such as the argan forest. Since the early 1990s, the practice of forest management has evolved to better
support the multi-functionality of forest areas and the sustainability of their resources. It is a matter of reframing the interventions
in the different management units through the adoption of “restorative” activities that aims to strengthen the resilience of
these ecosystems. This paper proposes to explore the possibilities of developing a reference system adapted to the restoration
requirements of argan ecosystems marked by their vulnerability to global changes. It comes at the right time after the call of Agadir
for the restoration of forest ecosystems on the sidelines of the 5th Mediterranean Forest Week held in Morocco (March 2017).
Abstract
The general principles of forest management have been shown to be of application to forest ecosystems in such areas as the
argan forest. Since the early 1990s, the practice of forest management has evolved to be more supportive of the multi-functionality
of forest areas and the sustainability of their resources. It is a matter of reframing the interventions in the different management
units through the adoption of “restorative” activities that enhance the resilience of these ecosystems. This paper proposes to explore
the possibilities of developing a global system of knowledge and understanding of argan ecosystems. Mediterranean Forest Week in
Agadir - Morocco (March 2017) for the restoration of forest ecosystems.
