Moroccan Climbing: Rock, Sun and Snow
PAUL KNOTT Moroccan Climbing: Rock, Sun and Snow OroCCO fascinates me. It has a rich complexity, retaining an alluring M mystique despite being well travelled and documented. During 1998 and 1999 I was lucky enough to get a real insight into the country and its climbing through a post at the delightful Al Akhawayn University in the Middle Atlas Mountains. Here I give a flavour of the rock climbing, skiing and mountain walking, all of them spiced with the cultural interest inherent in Morocco's mountain country. After three days' driving from the UK, I sped through dry limestone plateaux to Ifrane with its promise of sunshine and snow. I found myself sharing an office with Michael Peyron - Alpine Club member, Atlas guidebook author and Berber expert. Along with other companions, we escaped at weekends to explore the wealth of lesser-known mountains a short drive from the fairy-tale campus. We sought and found crags and mountains with European-style ease of access. For big, unexplored rock climbs one of my favourite places was the Dades Gorge. This was visited by Trevor Jones and Les Brown in 1990, but otherwise seems to have seen little or no climbing. Above Boumalne-de Dades the valley becomes strikingly beautiful, with its kasbahs and its unusual rock features (doigts de singes or monkey fingers) set amongst emerald green jardins. On my first visit we got no further than this; the downpour sent raging torrents across the road and stranded us at Ait-Arbi. We found the doigts disappointing for climbing. I returned some weeks later, to the gorge itself. -

Thirty-eight species were recorded from 78 localities.

(Lamiaceae) is one of the most important medicinal species in term of ethnobotany in Morocco. It is considered as a very threatened species as it is heavily exploited. Its domestication remains the most efficient way to safeguard it for future generations. For this purpose, wide evaluation of the existing variability in all over the Moroccan territory is required. The essential oils of 527 individual plants belonging to 88 populations collected from the whole distribution area of the species in Morocco were analyzed by GC/MS. -

Climbing in the Atlas Mountains a Survey
HAMISH BROWN Climbing in the Atlas Mountains A Survey (Plates 24-27) magine a country with eighty per cent sunshine throughout the year, I grand mountain scenery, its rock climbing potential barely touched, all within easy reach, with no political hassles orcostly fees, and a lovely people. It may sound too good to be true but it all exists in Europe's nearest truly exotic foreign country: Morocco. The Atlas Mountains, which sweep across from north-east to south-west, separating 'the desert and the sown', offer a climber's paradise. Quite why the Atlas has suffered neglect by climbers from Britain is hard to understand. Perhaps the names are too difficult - there's no kudos in reporting unpronounceable climbs - or the information is hidden away in French publications. 1 Time the cat escaped from out of the bag. I spent a winter in the Atlas in 1965 and repeated this delight in 1966. Having gone there specifically to climb (Notes in AJ 1966) I ended simply hooked on the whole Atlas ambience and began to wander rather than be restricted to one area. The natural outcome of this was an end-to-end trek 2 in 1995 : 96 days, 900 miles and about 30 peaks bagged. Farfrom rounding off my knowledge, the trip introduced me to a score of new worthy areas to visit and I've had five Atlas months every year since. 3 The scope for climbing is vast. The country must have 50 limestone gorges, miles long and up to 2000 feet deep, each ofwhich would fill volumes ofclimbs if located in Europe, while on the mountains there are crests to be traversed and notable granite faces still virgin. -

Les Formations Du Lias Inférieur Du Haut Atlas Central De Rich
Bull. Soc. géol. Fr., 2003, t. 174, no 3, pp. 227-242 Les formations du Lias inférieur du Haut Atlas central de Rich (Maroc) : précisions lithostratigraphiques et étapes de l’évolution du bassin MOHAMMED MEHDI1,FRITZ NEUWEILER2* et MARKUS WILMSEN3 Mots clés. – Haut-Atlas central, Maroc, Jurassique, Lias, Lithostratigraphie. Résumé. – Dans le Haut-Atlas central (Maroc) entre Midelt et Er-Rachidia affleure une épaisse série du Lias inférieur, organisée en 3 formations successives : a) la formation d’Idikel, b) la formation de l’Aberdouz et c) la formation de l’Ouchbis. Les variations latérales de faciès et l’usage abusif de la nomenclature des formations posent beaucoup de problèmes d’application et de corrélation. Certains auteurs ont essayé de réduire le nombre de formations alors que d’autres ont créé de nouvelles formations simplement sur la base de variations latérales peu importantes. Ainsi, l’appli- cation de la nomenclature précédente sur une série liasique de la région de Foum Zidet n’est pas homogène d’un auteur à l’autre et peut par conséquent conduire à des erreurs cartographiques, paléobiogéographiques et de reconstitution des étapes de l’évolution du bassin. Pour remédier à ce problème, nous proposons de : 1) subdiviser la formation d’Idikel de Studer [1980] en deux formations successives : la formation d’Idikel (partie inférieure de Studer [1980]), laquelle s’organise en une succession de cycles péritidaux et comporte deux membres : a) membre inférieur à dolomies, pseudomorphes de gypse et des calcaires et b) membre supérieur avec des calcaires dolo- mitiquesengrosbancsàfenestrae ; 2) définir une nouvelle formation : la formation de Foum Zidet (partie supérieure de la formation d’Idikel de Stu- der [1980]) avec trois membres successifs : a) membre inférieur formé par des calcaires bioclastiques à mollusques, bra- chiopodes et spongiaires, b) membre médian à calcaires lités en petits bancs et c) membre supérieur à monticules de spongiaires interdigités avec les calcaires lités. -
Taxus Baccata in Morocco: a Tree in Regression in Its Southern Extreme
2017, vol. 78, 63–74 http://dx.doi.org/10.12657/denbio.078.007 Angel Romo, Grzegorz Iszkuło, Mohammed Seghir Taleb, Łukasz Walas, Adam Boratyński* Taxus baccata in Morocco: a tree in regression in its southern extreme This work is dedicated to the memory of Pierre Quézel, who was one of the pioneers in the study of the forests and vegetation in the Mediterranean biogeographical area. Received: 23 January 2017; Accepted: 20 April 2017 Abstract: The knowledge on chorology of species is basic for biogeographic and ecological studies and for conservation actions. The data on the chorology of Taxus baccata in Morocco have not been studied. The bibliographic resources, herbarium material, unpublished data of several botanists and the authors’ field notes have been reviewed. Two yew populations on Jbel Lakrâa in the Rif and near Bekrit in the Middle Atlas were measured to verify demographic structure and health conditions. The Maxent model of predict- ed habitat based on bioclimatic variables was used to evaluate the potential geographic range of T. baccata. The species occurs in the mountain areas of northern Morocco: in the Rif, the Middle and High Atlas, at altitudes between (500) 1200 and 2000 (2350) m. In the High Atlas, it reaches its southernmost locations within the geographic range. The populations represented by the highest number of individuals are found in the Western Rif and Middle Atlas, while from the High Atlas only single, isolated individuals are known. The yew occurred preferably in forests of Cedrus atlantica, Abies maroccana, groves of Betula fontqueri, Ilex aquifolium and Prunus lusitanica and in riparian forests located in narrow gorges. -

Il fut établi dans la région du Haut Atlas, une des régions les plus riches en biodiversité. Chevauchant sur trois provinces – Al Haouz, Taroudant et Ouarzazate – cette aire protégée est située à 75km au sud de la ville de Marrakech, entre la vallée de l’oued Ourika à l’Est et la vallée du N’Fis à l’Ouest. Le PNTb, proprement dit, s’étend sur une superficie de 38.000 ha, à laquelle s’ajoutent 62.000 ha de zone périphérique, proposée en 1996 dans le Plan Directeur d’Aménagement et de Gestion du parc. I.1 Données générales Situation administrative : - Provinces : Al Haouz, Taroudant et Ouarzazate. - Communes rurales concernées : Asni, Ouirgane, Imegdal, Ijoukak, Oukaïmeden, Setti Fadma, Toubkal, Ahl Tifnoute et Tidili. Situation forestière : - Direction Régionale des Eaux et Forêts et de la Lutte Contre la Désertification : Haut Atlas (versant nord du PNTb) et Sud-ouest (versant sud du PNTb). - Directions Provinciales des Eaux et Forêts et de la Lutte Contre la Désertification : Marrakech (versant nord du PNTb), Taroudant et Ouarzazate (versant sud du PNTb). - Secteurs forestiers : Ouirgane, Ijoukak, Ifghane, Agaïouar, Asgaour, Idergane et Ighrem n’Ougdal. - Zones du PNTb : Zones d’Ouirgane, d’Imlil et de Setti Fadma au PNTb.
