Vegetation structure in summer of Tehsil Takht-e-Nasrati plains, district Karak, Pakistan

Abstract

Community structure is a key marker of long-term vegetation change in ecosystem. In the present investigation, 11 plant communities were recorded in plains area. The cluster analysis gives rise to 5 groups on the basis of important value and 4 groups on basis of soil. The vegetation changed with change of distance. As a whole in plains, the CZS community was developed. There were 6 tree, 7 shrub and 19 herb species. The Importance value contributed by three dominants species was 79.5. The contribution by tree was 50.6, shrubs (IV = 62.06) and herbs (IV = 187.3). The soil texture was found from sandy clay to sandy clay loam. These results emphasize the continuous need for long-term groundbased ecological monitoring in conjunction with satellite-based monitoring of changes in vegetation cover.

“…act as reducing agents for Ag + to generate NPs [12]. Recently reported plant extracts that were used for biosynthesis of AgNPs included Urtica diocia [13], Tropaeolum majus [14], Skimmia laureola [15], Azadirachta indica [16], and Araucaria angastifolia [17].…”

Vegetation Structure in Shahbazgari, District Mardan

“…The authors [7] research out the phytosociology of roadside communities and as a result 85 species were observed. The authors [8] reported 11 plants community during summer in Tehsil Takht-E-Nasrati Hills, District Karak, Pakistan. The author [9] studied the Maturity dynamism of plant life and pointed out that the species frequency was changed with the change of season and altitude.…”

“…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 author [24] stated that plant community structure interpret and analyze the plant life at diverse revelation and offer immediate information regarding plant life and are origin for deduction of future alteration. The author [8,21,22] evaluated the plant life reaction to ecological situation of open woodlands along an altitudinal and animal palatability preference. The factors which influenced plant life structure are unplanted settlements, overgrazing, erosion, land sliding, habitat destruction, poverty and anthropogenic activities.…”
