Search for medicinal plants with pharmaceutical use by integration of the physical and biotic informations in a geographic information system: The interface steppe region - Saharan region (Algeria)

Abstract

Algeria is a large, rich country in flora and fauna. The objective of this study was the integration of biological and physical data in a GIS for research of medicinal plants. The use of GIS has allowed us to create several maps of the interphase region steppe-region Saharan Africa, and discover that Stipa tenacissima was the most dominant species. The plant could be a promising source of bioactive compounds and drugs.
