From its Portuguese period, the historical city of Azemmour, on the Oum Errabia River banks, still boasts several monuments, including an imposing fortified wall. Among the factors of degradation that threaten this wall, we are particularly interested in the plant's action growing over this monument. The objective was to start by establishing a list of plant species colonizing the wall, then to deduce the potential effects that vegetation can have on the substrate. We carried out a systematic sampling in Azemmour. After sampling and identifying the plants, we established a list of 58 species, belonging to 26 families and 49genera. TheAsteraceae family is the most represented with 11 species, followed by Solanaceae with 6 species, Poaceae with 5 species and Amaranthaceae with 4 species. Depending on their life form category, these plant's roots are more or less intense, which leads to the dismantling of the masonry, and ultimately threatens ruin. The many medicinal plants found in the area are also a source of pressure on the site as they are anarchically uprooted by users. Devegetation measures must be undertaken urgently by conservators to control the spread of these plants in order to preserve the historic heritage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
