L’amplification de la désertification par les pratiques agro-sylvo-pastorales dans les hautes plaines steppiques algériennes : les modes d’habiter de la Wilaya de Djelfa

This article analyses the ways of living and the agro-sylvo-pastoral practices of 188 families in a steppe region of the Saharan Atlas in Algeria. The rural population is henceforth sedentary. The case of the District of Djelfa allows a deeper look into how these ways of living are anchored in the l...
