Biodiversity And Ecology Of Mosses In Northeastern Algeria: Case Of The Watershed Tonga

Résumé: 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
