“…(Hassan et al, 2015). Khan and Musharaf (2015) also reported 34 plant species belonging to 20 families from tehsil Thakht bhai, District: Mardan. An ethnobotanical survey was conducted in Tirat Valley, Swat District, Pakistan, reporting 65 species belonging to 35 families, from the Valley which belonged to the ethnomedical domain of the area .…”

The prime objective of the research was to list the important ethnomedicinal plants of Nawagai village, District Buner. During the survey, 44 plant species from 27 families were observed and collected from the targeted area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Lamiaceae members were the most dominant (54%) followed by members of Asteraceae (30%), Poaceae (18%) and Solanaceae (12%). Relevant information such as field data, GPS coordinates family names, local names, therapeutic uses and plant habits were recorded for each species. For preservation purposes, specimens were mounted on herbarium sheets, and identified with the help of flora of Pakistan, flora of Australia and other relevant floristic records. During this research work all the collected specimens were preserved in the (BG&H, UOM) Botanical Garden and Herbarium, the data were also provided to the Department of Botany, University of Malakand Dir (Lower), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.

“…A nal threat score was calculated in the exploration step by counting all the scores for each parameter and incorporating them into a single score. A vulnerability calculation was performed on the species collected to categorize them into the following groups: highly threatened (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19), moderately threatened (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30), and less threatened .…”

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of human disturbances on plant abundance and diversity and to suggest conservation measures in District Kohat, Pakistan. A total of 25 plots were randomly selected for each type of land-use to assess the ecological status, plant abundance, and plant diversity. Overall, 67 plant species were reported, including 39, 18, and 10 herbs, shrubs, and trees, respectively. In trees, Sideroxylon mascatense (A. DC.) T.D. Penn., Olea europaea L., Dalbergia sissoo DC., and Acacia modestaWall., had significantly higher basal area, diameter at breast height and diversity indices. As for shrub species, Withania coagulans (Stocks) Dunal, Gymnosporia royleana Wall. ex M.A. Lawson, and Rhazya stricta Decne., had the highest species density. Data regarding herb species showed that Euphorbia serrata L., Sonchus arvensis L., Peganum harmala L., and Amaranthus viridis L., have attained maximum diversity and coverage. As per the IUCN red list, W. coagulans(critically endangered) and G. royleana (nearly threatened) along with other species of international, national, and local importance were disappearing from the unprotected area. In conclusion, the protected area exhibits a higher abundance and diversity of plants compared to unprotected area, highlighting the positive impact of conservation efforts on ecological richness.

“…It improves the soil infiltrations, structure and prevents erosion. The authors [8,27,28], described that the resources of soil is limited and its physical and chemical properties are restricted mostly by humus and clay. Several research works dealing with different features of plant life from diverse parts of the state have been taken out form time to time [16,19,21,22,29].…”

The present work was made to investigate the vegetation structure of shrubs and herbs in research area. Total 48 plant species consisting of 7 shrubs and 41 herbs constructing CenchrusZizyphus-Saccharum community from 9 sites in which 9 communities i.e. Fumaria-RumexXanthium community, Cynodon-Solanum-Sonchus community, Cynodon-Sorghum-Alhagi community, Ajuga-Malvastrum-Calotropis community, Cynodon -Convolvulus-Cyperus community, Ajuga-Saccharum-Chenopodium community, Alhagi-Rumex-Euphorbia community, Saccharum-Cannabis-Xanthium community and Achyranthus-Ajuga-Euphorbia community were found. The contribution of total important values by shrubs was 43.78 and 256.2 by herbs. The soil of the area had better calcium carbonate in the range of (11.72 -12.99 %), with soil pH (6.45 -8.11). The EC was found in the range of (0.13-0.22 dS m -1 ). The concentrations of P and K content were found in the range of (3.54-3.92 mg Kg -1 ) and (111.21-127.14 mg Kg -1 ). These results highlight the constant need for long-term ground-based conservation monitoring in combination with satellite-based monitoring of changes in vegetation cover.
