Plant formations that develop on the edges of streams or bodies of water located in the border area between water and land. They are made up of specific stands due to the presence of water over more or less long periods, formations characteristic of the Oueds in our region. Riparian forests play an important ecological role. In particular, they offer specific natural habitats. They form biological corridors, increase the ecological connectivity of landscapes and therefore play a major role in maintaining biodiversity (forest and river biodiversity in particular), at regional scales. Finally, true filters, they protect the quality of the water and part of the wetlands of the watershed, the banks and the riparian soils.
