Ecological Engineering and Environmental Technology, 2025
Land cover change detection offers multiple opportunities to spatial management specialists. Monitoring spatio - temporal dynamic is undoubtedly one of these key tasks. This study aims to monitor the forest dynamic of Talas - semtane National Park over 34 years using merged composite cloud-masking Landsat images and Google Earth Engine a Google cloud product. This product provides a vast amount of geospatial data and algorithms to query, analyze, and visualize the data using simple script. The park’s forests, which covered 43.600 hectares in 1990 (67% of the park), have lost more than 18% of their cover during this period, at an annual rate of 240 hectares. The largest reduction occurred between 1995 and 2000, with a significant loss of 4.411 hectares. The study results will be available to park managers to help them target interventions to conserve and develop the park’s forests.

Spontaneous flora offers many functions and potentialities in the urban ecosystem. However, few studies have been carried out on this subject in Morocco. The present study aimed to analyze the diversity of spontaneous flora in the urban area of Temara, to contribute to interpreting the structure and dynamics of Moroccan spontaneous flora. During the study, 90 floristic surveys were carried out along four transects, marked A, B, C, and D so that each transect started from the city center and went in one of the four directions of the study area. Transect A ran northwards from the city center, transect B westwards, transect C southwards, and transect D eastwards from the city center. To carry out the floristic surveys, several survey areas were chosen, given the heterogeneity of the urban environment. These areas ranged from a few cm 2 for rock fissure plants, through 10 to 25 m 2 for grasslands, to 25 to 100 m 2 for forest cuttings. The results revealed a total of 137 taxa grouped in 116 genera and belong to 33 floristic families. The Asteraceae family came out on top, with 30 species (21.90%) and 24 genera, and the Poaceae family was in second place with 21 species (15.33%) divided into 20 genera. Analysis of this floristic list indicates a predominance of the therophyte life form (48.90%), then hemicryptophytes (26.28%) followed by geo - phytes (10.22%) in terms of biological type, and a predominance of the Mediterranean element (31.19%) in terms of chorological type. Of the 137 taxa inventoried, 10 are very rare, 1 is rare, 1 has a doubtful presence, and 2 are endemics. This study showed that even in a disturbed and fragmented environment, such as the urban environment, certain spontaneous plant species adapt to the conditions prevailing in this habitat and show considerable diversity, thus contributing to a better interpretation of the composition and dynamics of the country’s flora.

Urban vegetation is a fundamental element and the keystone of urban ecological systems. Therefore, better comprehending the patterns of change over time and space in this vegetation is crucial for more effective urban environment management to enhance urban habitat and counteract the negative impacts of accelerated urbanization. This study examined 1,081 articles listed in the Scopus database on urban vegetation between 2000 and 2023. After being exported in CSV format, these data were analyzed using VOSviewer for data visualization, Scopus Analytics for performance evaluation, MS Excel for organizing data in graphical form, and CiteSpace for examining the emergence of keywords. The objective was to offer guidance on current topics and forecast future research trends related to this theme. This analysis shows that in 2000, only 5 articles on urban vegetation were published, which has risen by 2840% to 142 in 2023, following a quadratic function (R2 = 0.9524). China is the country most interested in this topic, with 273 articles (25.25%). Thus, China and the United States are the most cooperative nations on the urban vegetation subject. Over the past 24 years, the environmental science field has contributed the most, with 33.3% of papers published. Concerning sources, the journal Urban Forestry and Urban Greening comes first with 73 articles and 2127 citations. The keyword “urban vegetation” is the most frequently used by authors (occurrences: 330, links: 115, and total link strength: 459). In terms of cocitations, an analysis of 75887 authors revealed that X. Li came out first with a total link strength of 21626 and 507 citations while G. D. Jenerette takes first place, concerning the co‐authorship with 11 publications and 899 citations. Moreover, the Chinese Academy of Sciences is the most effective and influential institution on the subject. Keyword emergence analysis revealed that urban growth, urban development, and ecosystem services have become current research hotspots with considerable impact over the past three years. This work has provided structured data, guidelines, and useful recommendations for further investigations, which can contribute to a better comprehension of the environmental features of urban vegetation.
