“…Similarly, a phytosociological survey also helps in finding out certain potential plant species in a plant community, which consistently grow in a stable community, resist in varied climatic conditions and also dominate surrounding vegetation. A phytosociological study gives information on the distribution of species as well as affinities between species or groups of species, resulting in a valuable evaluation of the vegetation within the study area (Frenedozo-Soave, 2003).…”

This study was conducted to evaluate the seasonal phytosociology of Parthenium hysterophorus infested sites in Mumbai region during the year 2018-2019. Among all the plants, P. hysterophorus was found to be the most dominant and abundant weed throughout the sites with maximum ecological index like Importance value index (IVI), ranged from (42.86-124.12). A statistically significant interaction (p<0.001) between sites was obtained for mean IVI values of P. hysterophorus. Along with Parthenium hysterophorus; Cassia occidentalis and Calotropis procera also showed their presence. The results suggest that these competitive weeds could replace this obnoxious weed through allelopathic mode of action without affecting the nature of the soil and natural habitat.

“…It provides information on the structure and dynamics, external influences, biological responses to change interaction of species/classes and interlinkages amongst species, successional status of key species and ecological restoration of degraded habitats in a community (Kent, 2012). Such studies provide information on distribution of species and also on the affinities between or within the classes results in the valuable assessment of vegetation within the study area (Frenedozo-Soave, 2003). Phytosocological as well as autecological studies are of great significance for their own sake; the progress of the study of plant communities is greatly affected by the lack of evidence regarding the life history and biotic relations of their constituent species.…”

The wild Prunus korshinskyi has a restricted distribution in small scattered areas of Jabal Al-Lauz (2580 m above sea level), a mountain in northwestern Saudi Arabia. Major objective of current study is to provide information about P. korshinskyi by analyzing its ecology in terms of floristic diversity, plant associations, environmental features, and its size structure and nutritional value. For this purpose, 12 stands of 20 m2 were selected along the Jabal Al-Lauz mountain ridge. Three plant associations and their environmental variables were identified and characterized after application of a two-way indicator species analysis (TWINSPAN), detrended correspondence analysis (DCA). And canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) as follows: VGI: P. korshinskyi-Astracantha echinus, VGII: Artemisia siberi-P. korshinskyi, and VGIII: Retama raetam-Artemisia sieberi. The edaphic factor affecting the distribution of the associations were pH, potassium and manganese content. The size class frequency distribution of P. korshinskyi shows a J-shape in spring and fall for the whole population; there was no regeneration via seed. Nutritional evaluation showed the fruits had a higher content of total carbohydrate, fats, crude protein, phosphorus, and potassium, and lower content of ash, Fe, Ca, Mn, Mg, and Zn than that in stems and leaves. This ecological knowledge gained through this study would be beneficial for managing and conserving of P. korshinskyi in a Jabal Al-Lauz area with its distinct and unique vegetation.
