<title>Vegetation relev&#233;s in relation to the land degradation indicators </title>
<para>Vegetation Relev&#233;s were done according to the intensity of the land cover (degraded and non degraded land)  determined by NDVI analysis. 
The field data were collected by the mean of inventories according to the Braun-Blanquet phytosociological relev&#233;s methods. Dendrometrical and regeneration relev&#233;s were also done. Plot sizes were 50 m x 20 m for woody species , 10 m x 10 m for herbaceous species and 5 m x 5 m for regeneration.</para>
