  abstract = {{F}arming activities that are likely to induce the development of emerging pests increasingly disturbs the {A}rgan {B}iosphere in {M}orocco. {C}onsidering that plant-parasitic nematodes strongly contribute to the decrease in plant growth production, a survey was conducted in the {A}rgan {B}iosphere in order to assess nematode diversity and distribution. {I}t was established that the parasitic nematofauna was rich, with 70 species belonging to 34 genera and 12 families. {S}pecies with high plant decay potential belonging to {L}ongidoridae, {H}eteroderidae, {H}oplolaimidae, {M}eloidogynidae, {P}aratylenchidae and {P}ratylenchidae are present in the argan forest. {T}elotylenchus sp., {P}aratylenchus microdorus and {P}aratylenchus veruculatus, {X}iphinema italiae and {X}iphinema pachtaicum (virus-transmitting nematodes), and {H}elicotylenchus crassatus are the most dominant species. {P}opulations of root-knot ({M}eloidogyne spp.) and lesion ({P}ratylenchus spp.) nematodes are also present. {C}limate forces have driven the structuration of the argan forest to topoclimatic landscapes that led the diversity of the plant-parasitic nematodes communities. {T}he north-south typology of the arid climate affects the richness and the taxonomic and functional diversity of nematodes, while the west-east temperature typology mainly affects the abundance of nematodes, especially of colonizing species. {T}he emergence of plant-parasitic nematode problems as a consequence of intensive agroforestry or argan orchard development is considered.},
