In order to characterize the soil-vegetation relationship in Kabylia, a qualitative inventory of plant species was carried out in the stations of Sidi Ali Bounab, Redjaouna and Mizrana (Tizi-Ouzou) during the spring season 2022 as well as physico-chemical analyzes of the soil (texture, total limestone CaCO3, pH, electrical conductivity as well as organic matter). The inventory of the flora collected made it possible to draw up a systematic list of 54 species, of which 26 species are listed at the level of the Redjaouna station, which is the more diversified, 23 species at the station of Sidi Ali Bounab and only 15 species at the station of Mizrana. The latter belong to 25 botanical families, 22 orders, 4 classes (Liliopsida, Equidopsida, Magnoliopsida and Flicopsida), and 5 divisions of the kingdom Planteae. The Fabaceae family dominates in the Redjaouna and Sidi Ali Bounab stations, so much said that at the Mizrana station it is the Asteraceae family that dominates. The analysis of the quality of the soils by determining their physical and chemical properties reveals that it is favorable to the installation and the diversification of the flora thanks to their loamy-sandy texture rich in organic matter and their neutral pH as well as their electrical conductivity, which is confirmed by the ecological analysis (equitability which tends towards 1) as well as statistical analysis by ACP and CAH.
