Half of the commune is occupied by forest formations. The territory of Misserghin is structured in 3-4 zones: more than the north-western half of the southern slope of Murdjadjo is forested and reforested, the other north-eastern half is mainly occupied by degraded forest with the exception of an old cultivated enclave. The rest of the area is agricultural. The lower southern slopes of Murdjadjo and its foothills are mainly devoted to seasonal crops. The plain bordering the Sebkha of Oran is reserved for arboriculture: the olive tree now holds an important place while the vineyard has practically disappeared.
