La for\u00eat \u00e9pineuse est l&rsquo;une des communaut\u00e9s v\u00e9g\u00e9tales les plus \u00e9tranges de la Terre \u2014 et presque tout ce qu&rsquo;elle abrite ne vit nulle part ailleurs. C&rsquo;est l&rsquo;end\u00e9misme de Madagascar pouss\u00e9 \u00e0 son maximum absolu.<\/p>\n<h2>Un d\u00e9sert de plantes introuvables ailleurs<\/h2>\n<p>Les <strong>for\u00eats \u00e9pineuses<\/strong> du sud-ouest de Madagascar sont une \u00e9cor\u00e9gion chaude et s\u00e8che qui d\u00e9tient le <strong>plus fort end\u00e9misme v\u00e9g\u00e9tal de l&rsquo;\u00eele<\/strong> : environ <strong>95 % des esp\u00e8ces<\/strong> et pr\u00e8s de la moiti\u00e9 des genres ne poussent qu&rsquo;ici. C&rsquo;est \u00e0 la fois l&rsquo;un des habitats les plus uniques et les plus menac\u00e9s du monde \u2014 un laboratoire vivant de la fa\u00e7on dont les plantes survivent l\u00e0 o\u00f9 la pluie ne tombe presque jamais.<\/p>\n<h2>L&rsquo;arbre pieuvre et ses cousins<\/h2>\n<p>Les plantes embl\u00e9matiques appartiennent aux <strong>Didiereaceae<\/strong>, une famille introuvable ailleurs qu&rsquo;\u00e0 Madagascar. Elles ressemblent \u00e9trangement \u00e0 des cactus \u2014 hautes, colonnaires, cuirass\u00e9es d&rsquo;\u00e9pines \u2014 sans pourtant leur \u00eatre apparent\u00e9es, cas classique de convergence \u00e9volutive. La plus c\u00e9l\u00e8bre est l&rsquo;<strong>arbre pieuvre<\/strong> (<em>Didierea madagascariensis<\/em>), dont les longs bras sinueux et \u00e9pineux lui valent son nom, aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s des <em>Alluaudia<\/em> en forme d&rsquo;ocotillo. Parmi elles poussent des euphorbes \u00e9pineuses et toute une distribution d&rsquo;autres sp\u00e9cialistes de la s\u00e9cheresse.<\/p>\n<h2>Faits pour survivre de rien<\/h2>\n<p>Tout, ici, est une r\u00e9ponse \u00e0 la s\u00e9cheresse. Les plantes de la for\u00eat \u00e9pineuse stockent l&rsquo;eau dans des <strong>troncs et branches succulents gonfl\u00e9s<\/strong>, envoient d&rsquo;<strong>\u00e9normes tubercules souterrains<\/strong>, r\u00e9duisent leurs feuilles \u00e0 de minuscules lambeaux caducs, et se cuirassent d&rsquo;\u00e9pines contre les rares animaux assez d\u00e9sesp\u00e9r\u00e9s pour les manger. Beaucoup portent des rev\u00eatements cireux ou poilus pour ralentir l&rsquo;\u00e9vaporation. Le r\u00e9sultat est un paysage d&rsquo;apparence hostile et morte mais qui est, en r\u00e9alit\u00e9, un chef-d&rsquo;\u0153uvre d&rsquo;ing\u00e9nierie botanique.<\/p>\n<h2>Pourquoi cela compte aujourd&rsquo;hui<\/h2>\n<p>La for\u00eat \u00e9pineuse, c&rsquo;est l&rsquo;\u00e9volution de Madagascar \u00e0 son plus extr\u00eame \u2014 et parmi ses plus menac\u00e9es, car la coupe pour le charbon de bois et le d\u00e9frichement la rongent.
