International Colloquium on Thuriferous Juniper

The Thuriferous Juniper and other

Mediterranean Cupressaceae :

Uses, Ecosystem services, Threats and

Conservation

First circular

Marrakesh (Morocco), April 30 - May 4, 2014.

General presentation :

The International Colloquium on thuriferous juniper, are in its fifth edition, will be

held in Marrakesh in 2014, after those of Marignac (France, 1997), Marrakesh (Morocco,

2001), Soria (Spain, 2006) and Mont-Dauphin and Saint-Crépin (France, 2011). The regular

meetings of this colloquium mobilizes each time a large community of researchers and

international experts devoted to this endemic tree species of the western part of the

Mediterranean basin. The approached aspects are generally related to its ecology,

management and prospects for conservation and its sustainable development.

If this relic species shows a good dynamics concerning its natural regeneration and

its growth in Spain and France, it is not unfortunately the case in Morocco and Algeria

where this tree is considered as an endangered and vulnerable species, in regression,

which could become rare on short-term.

For this fifth edition of the International Colloquium on the thuriferous juniper, the

Ecology and Environment Laboratory (L2E), Faculty of Sciences Semlalia Marrakesh (Cadi

Ayyad University), is associated with the Laboratory Ecology and Environment (L2E) of the

Faculty of Sciences - Ben Msik (Hassan II University, Mohammedia - Casablanca), and the

Regional Forest Direction of the High Atlas Marrakesh (High Commissariat of Water,

Forests and the Fight against desertification (HCEFLD). The organizing committee proposes

to develop themes on the thuriferous juniper and other Mediterranean Cupressaceae. For

this edition, besides the traditional aspects developed around ecology and biodiversity,

ecophysiological and dynamic of peuplments of junipers, a special attention will be

reserved to aspects of uses and ecosystemics services of juniper peuplments in the

Mediterranean area and the presence of several threatened species in the Cupressaceae

ecosystems, requiring special and adapted conservation measures.

Mediterranean Cupressaceae is known by their great adaptation to extreme

environmental conditions once characterized by pejorations order climatic and soil. It is

important to have a view on the state of knowledge on these issues, resulting to a great

diversity of habitats. The Cupressaceae form a lot of peuplments, alone or in combination

with other traditional Mediterranean trees, those peuplments are characterized by pre-

forestal to pre-steppic structures, and also steppic structures with. They also cover large

areas from the sea on the coast to very high altitudes in the Atlas Mountains of North

Africa.

The Cupressaceae are shaped very well, man has made species and spaces

dedicated to the production of goods and services déterminanet in his life, especially in

mountain areas (timber and fuelwood, fodder for animals breeding, ...). The diversity of

uses and ecosystem services, help to understand the relationship between trees and

human populations, and the operation and management of agroforestry still alive and

practiced in our day modes.

Axes and themes of this call for papers for the 5th International Symposium on

Juniper thuriferous are:

Theme 1 : Biodiversity and ecosystems of thuriferous Juniper and other Mediterranean

Cupressaceae, richness and threats (climate change, overgrazing, pest ....)

Theme 2 : Ecology, Structure and Functioning of the Mediterranean population’s Junipers

Theme 3 : Status and conservation status (technical tools, regeneration conditions,

contributions of biotechnology ...)

Theme 4 : Uses and local knowledge, Place of the tree in the local and traditional

production systems

Theme 5 : various ecosystemics services, Agroforestry and Managment

The 5th

International Symposium on thuriferous Juniper will be held at the Faculty of

Sciences Semlalia Marrakesh, from April 30 to 4 May 2014. It is a space for exchange and sharing

of experience and research findings at national and international levels, in relation with these

particular ecosystems of the Mediterranean world.
