Résumé
Libya is a North African country on the southern shores of the Mediterranean Sea. In the relief of Libya, three parts can be distinguished : the Mediterranean coast, the Libyan desert and the hot desert of the Sahara, which takes about 90% of the state. In the narrow coastal belt there is a Mediterranean climate, while in most parts of the country there is a dry and warm desert climate. Regards that fact, the surographic, edaphic and climatic factors in Libya are very specific, the living world is so specific that, in many elements unique and highly adapted to the extremists of the environment. In conditions of high temperatures, lack of moisture and fertile soil, often high-brightness, eolic erosion, climate-related xerothermation, desertification and strong anthropogenic stresses, flora and vegetation, Libya and neighboring areas are highly endangered. One of the ways of struggling against accelerated erosion of biodiversity and destruction of natural habitats is the establishment of a network of protected areas where the implementation of measures of passive and active protection of natural habitats, wild species and their communities. In line with the global trend of increasing the area of protected areas, the Arab states, and also Libya itself, are increasingly working on their establishment. One of the suburbs is the Msalata Nature Reserve, which was officially established in 1998. Since no detailed study of the flora and vegetation of the Msalate area has been done so far, our work is dealing with this fundamental natural value. The result of the inventory, valorization and determination of the state of flora and vegetation of the Reserve of the Msalata, should contribute to the establishment of a database, the establishment of monitoring, the development of scientific and educational activities, the establishment of measures for adequate protection and improvement, and the sustainable use of flora and vegetation.
