In the Mediterranean basin, overexploitation has lead to the loss of most primeval forests and an increase of the surface area covered by shrublands that represent stages of degradation of mature forests . In this context, huma n intervention is usually necessary to improve recovery of woodlands . Refforestation is a common practice i n Mediterranean areas to achieve this objective but its performances are very low with high rates of early mortalit y making this practice unprofitable in ecological as well as economic terms. In degraded semiarid ecosystems , shrub and tallgrass species grow following a patchy distribution . Traditionally, shrubs growing near to newl y planted trees are considered heavy competitors, and consequently removed before planting . However th e vegetation patches usually constitute "fertility islands" or "resource islands" which could promote the tre e species development. It has been previously assessed that some native plant species could act as "nurse plants " through their positive impacts on soil abiotic characteristics (i .e . soi! nutrient contents) but also through their positive influence on soil microbiota, especially on symbiotic microorganisms (rhizobia and mycorrhizal fungi) . The main results showing the beneficial effects of these plant nurses on the growth of Mediterranean tree specie s (i .e . Cupressus spp . & Piaus halepensis), on the soil bio-functioning are reportedandthe benefits of using native plant species to rehabilitate degraded areas especially in stressful] conditions are underlined .
