“…While these interventions have the potential to enhance crop yields, they also incur higher costs and thus introduce greater financial and operational uncertainties. In contrast, the cultivation of wild-simulated ginseng may encompass the practice of gently displacing fallen foliage, sowing seeds, and allowing the ginseng to mature over a span of multiple years prior to its eventual harvest (Yousefi et al, 2020).…”

The agricultural sector is confronted with the formidable challenge of providing sustenance for a global population of 9 billion individuals by the year 2050, all the while mitigating adverse ecological and societal impacts. An attempt to address this difficulty has been made through the implementation of organic farming practices, which have yielded predominantly favorable results. Nevertheless, there are still certain obstacles that need to be addressed. Organic agricultural practices exhibit lower yields compared to conventional methods, while concerns persist regarding greenhouse gas emissions and fertilizer leaching. This paper provides an overview of existing organic and conventional agriculture systems and proposes that agroforestry, a deliberate integration of trees and shrubs with crops or livestock, may represent a promising avenue for advancing sustainable agriculture. Agroforestry possesses the capacity to sustain productivity and concurrently provide many ecosystem services through the use of nature-inspired methods. This study presents an overview of the prevalent methods and products associated with agroforestry, while also highlighting the positive environmental and social impacts it brings about. The present study aims to examine the obstacles encountered in the implementation of agroforestry practices and to suggest potential strategies for policy modification that could enhance the uptake of such practices among farmers. The findings of this review study indicate that agroforestry emerges as a very effective land use strategy for addressing both food security and environmental degradation concerns.

“…Plants of the Atlas Pistachio or "El Betoum" (Arabic appellation), are located in North Africa (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia), as well as in the Canaries, Libya (Cyrenaica), Cyprus, Iran, Iraq and in the Middle East (Asma 2019;Médail and Quézel 2003;Rahmanpour et al 2016,). A robust species can reach up to 20 m in height, with a wellindividualized deciduous trunk (Yousefi et al 2020). Trees of this species represent an important resource on which populations depend the most, due to their drought tolerance (Mashizi et al 2021).…”

Abstract. Barour AA. 2021. Cartography and spatial distribution of the genus Pistacia in Souk Ahras, Northeast Algeria. Biodiversitas 23: 286-290. In 2020, a study mapped two species of the genus Pistacia, viz. Pistacia atlantica Desf. and Pistacia vera L. in the Wilaya of Souk Ahras situated in the northeast of Algeria. The study was based on the determination of the geographic coordinates of each individual and mapping their spatial distribution by using MapInfo Pro 12.0.2 software. The results showed that Atlas Pistachio was mainly distributed over four localities viz. Batoum, Ben Attia, Sidi Fredj and Ouled Moumen. However, the Pistachio nut species were distributed over two localities in the south of the Wilaya of Souk Ahras, viz. Ben Attia and Sidi Fredj. The locality of Ben Attia was characterized by a more or less random distribution of trees, mostly young plants. At thr same time, the structure was heterogeneous across the other stations, with the dominance of large and old trees. The spacing between the trees of the Atlas Pistachio varied from one region to another, ranging from 3 to 189 m. At the Ouled Moumen area, the distribution of wild Pistachio trees formed circles with very close distances between neighboring feet. On the other hand, the trees were spaced and distributed in a linear manner across the other stations.
