In the context of climate emergency and biodiversity loss due mainly to agriculture, this study aims to characterize the forest ecosystems of the Kara basin agropolis and a 10 km buffer zone. The methodology is based on two approaches: land cover mapping using Landsat satellite images and a detailed description of forest ecosystems, focusing on the floristic composition of woody species to assess their conservation, structure and ecological functioning. This characterization was carried out through 56 20 mx 20 m inventory surveys, where all species presents were counted and woody individuals with a DBH ≥ 10 cm measured. The results show that 67% of the area consists of cultivated and fallow land, with a higher proportion in the agropole (72%) than in the buffer zone (63%). Forests account for 13% in the agropole and 21% in the buffer zone. The floristic survey identified 105 woody species in 79 genera and 31 families, with a higher average diversity in the agropole (H’ = 2.69) than in the buffer zone (H’ = 2.13). Four species are on the IUCN Red List. Although tree density is lower in the agropole (97.2 trees/ha) than in the buffer zone (119.08 trees/ha), basal area is greater in the buffer zone (32.30 m2/ha) than in the agropole (29.86 m2/ha), indicating an annual pressure on tree species.
