IDENTIFICATION, CLASSIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF THE BIG SFAX WETLANDS
Journal Title: Larhyss Journal - Year 2017, Vol 30, Issue 30
Abstract
In this paper, we present the different steps to study the wetlands of the big Sfax, from identification to caracteriziation. Identification consists of locating and delimiting wetlands. The approch used is the interpretation assisted with computer of panchromatic aerial photographs. The wetlands identified are classified according to the Ramsar typology into three categories: marine wetlands, continental welnads and artificial wetlands. Ground prospecting was then used to caracterize the wetlands through searching for traces of hydromorphy and halophytic vegetation. Soils and vegetation develop in a specific way and persist after periods of waterlogging and land developpement. They constitue reliable criteria for diagnostic, identification and delimitation of wetlnads.
