A diachronic study of Ourika watershed land in the High Atlas of Morocco

Abstract: The Ourika watershed, located in the North-West of Moroccan High Atlas, has undergone several spatio-temporal changes and accelerated land use dynamics as a result of the interaction of climatic, topographic and anthropogenic factors. The objective of this study is to monitor the evolution of land use in the study area over the past 33 years. Landsat satellite imagery has been chosen for land cover mapping, providing a sufficient detail to identify land cover characteristics while providing more or less comple… Show more

“…Its climate is variable, with differences in rainfall and temperature driven by factors such as altitude, topography, and proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. The higher elevations have cooler temperatures and receive much more precipitation, which can reach 700 mm/year, while the lower elevations are warmer and drier [46]. The region experiences seasonal variability in rainfall characterized by a wet season from November to March and a dry season from April to October.…”
