Abstract
The majority of the studies on the degradation of the steppe trails evoke the most visible factors, considered to be the cause (drought, overgrazing, demographic evolution …), reduction of vegetation cover in a singular or interactive way. The steppe tracts of the high plains of Algeria have been marked by an intense degradation affecting vegetation cover, biodiversity and soil. At the beginning of this degradation, the most likely changes are those that affect certain dominant perennial plants that ensure the physiognomy of these pathways (Aidoud in J Sci Commun 163:51–59, 1994).
