The surface of the global plateau consists of sandy clay soil, where meadows are spread, fed by the amounts of rain falling during the fall and winter seasons, which range between 425 and 625 mm. The whole forest has fertile pastures among the cork oak trees that produce it, which has a third of the material produced in the rest of Morocco's forests.
