Abstract EN

The national park of El-Kala is located in the extreme North-east of Algeria.

It holds a set of natural ecosystems from the maritime aquatic to the forests, passing by the aquatic lacustrine type.

The Tonga lake watershed is a part of this set of landscape.

Taking into account the diversity of bryophytes and the remoteness of the various sources of pollution, twenty-six stations from different forestal formations were the subject of our study.

The inventory revealed one hundred fifty-three mosses species.

From a morphological point of view, the listed taxa are divided into one hundred seven acrocarpous (sporophytes located at the tops of the branches of the stem) species and forty-six pleurocarpous (Sporophytes develop laterally to the stems)species, while from a systematic point of view, with twenty-nine families, We can then deduce that the watershed of Lake Tonga is rich in bryophytes.

Abstract FRE

Le parc national d’El-Kala est situé à l’extrême Nord-est de l'Algérie, Il renferme un ensemble d’écosystèmes naturels allant de l’aquatique maritime au forestier en passant par le type aquatique lacustre.

Le bassin versant du lac Tonga fait partie de cet ensemble de paysages.

Compte tenu de la diversité des bryophytes et de l’éloignement des différentes sources de pollution, vingt-six stations, appartenant aux différentes formations forestières, ont fait l’objet de notre étude.

L’inventaire floristique a révélé l’existence de cent cinquante-trois espèces de mousses.

D’un point de vue morphologique, les taxons répertoriés sont divisés en cent sept acrocarpes (sporophytes situés aux sommets des rameaux de la tige)et quarante-six espèces pleurocarpes (sporophytes se développent latéralement aux tiges), d’un point de vue systématique représentés par vingt-neuf familles botaniques ,Nous pouvons déduire alors que le bassin versant du Lac Tonga est riche en bryophytes.
