Chilgoza pine is an economically and ecologically important evergreen coniferous tree species of the dry rocky temperate zone, a native south Asia. This rated as near threatened (NT) by International Union for Conservation Nature (IUCN). study hypothesized that climatic, soil topographic variations strongly influence distribution pattern potential habitat suitability prediction pine. Accordingly, this was aimed to document under varying environmental scenarios using 37 different variables....
Global climate change affects weather patterns, affecting soil salinity and drought tolerance. Crop resilience agriculture sustainability can be enhanced by exploring salinity, plant tolerance, microbial diversity, remediation techniques. This review examines the morpho-physiological, molecular, genetic mechanisms underlying adaptation to stress. It highlights their impact on growth, productivity, diversity. Diverse methods are investigated tackle stress, encompassing chemical, physical,...
Abstract At the global and regional scales, green vegetation cover has ability to affect climate land surface fluxes. Climate is an important factor which plays role in cover. This research aimed study changes relation of different indices with temperature using multi-temporal satellite data Sahiwal region, Pakistan. Supervised classification method (maximum likelihood algorithm) was used achieve based on ground-truthing. Our denoted that during last 24 years, almost 24,773.1 ha (2.43%) area...
The landscape of Pakistan is vulnerable to flood and periodically affected by floods different magnitudes. aim this study was aimed assess the flash susceptibility district Jhelum, Punjab, using geospatial model Frequency Ratio Analytical Hierarchy Process. Also, considered eight most influential flood-causing parameters are Digital Elevation Model, slop, distance from river, drainage density, Land use/Land cover, geology, soil resistivity (soil consisting rocks formation) rainfall...
Land use–land cover (LULC) alteration is primarily associated with land degradation, especially in recent decades, and has resulted various harmful changes the landscape. The normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) prospective capacity to classify vegetative characteristics of many ecological areas proven itself useful as a remote sensing (RS) tool recording phenological aspects. Likewise, built-up (NDBI) used for quoting areas. current research objectives include identification LULC,...
Landslides triggered in mountainous areas can have catastrophic consequences, threaten human life, and cause billions of dollars economic losses. Hence, it is imperative to map the susceptible landslides minimize their risk. Around Abbottabad, a large city northern Pakistan, number be found. This study aimed landslide susceptibility over these regions Pakistan by using three Machine Learning (ML) techniques, specifically Linear Regression (LiR), Logistic (LoR), Support Vector (SVM). Several...
Recent ethnobotanical studies have raised the hypothesis that religious affiliation can, in certain circumstances, influence evolution of use wild food plants, given it shapes kinship relations and vertical transmission traditional/local environmental knowledge. The local population living Jhelum District, Punjab, Pakistan comprises very diverse linguistic groups. A field study about uses plants was conducted district. This survey included 120 semi-structured interviews 27 villages, focusing...
The significance of edaphic factors in describing forest vegetation patterns is becoming more well acknowledged, with significant implications for the description biogeographical regions and biome classification, as abundance growth at regional levels. current study examines association Zabarwan mountain range Western Himalayas its factors. To collect data on types, we employed a systematic random sampling strategy 60 plots (0.1 ha) across five types. We investigated using ordination cluster...
Vegetation composition and/or plant species co-existence is influenced by the environmental variations in any region. The ecological knowledge and order of importance selected important conservation management resources. Based on relevant gap, study area district Jhelum, Pakistan lying an arid-tropical zone was to explore vegetation types their driving factors using latest multivariate statistical approaches. For this, entire ecologically explored collect natural wild data from January 2018...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the taxonomic diversity, richness, and distribution patterns Poaceae in relation abiotic factors Jhelum district Pakistan Himalayas. We used a random sampling technique from 80 grids within 240 sites with rich diversity wild grasses 720 quadrates triplets each site across between 2019 2021 collect data on grass species associated environmental conditions. After evaluating important value index for plant taxa data, we analyzed using ordination...
Climber–abiotic parameter interactions can have important ramifications for ecosystem’s functions and community dynamics, but the extent to which these abiotic factors influence spatial distributions of climber communities in western Himalayas is unknown. The purpose this study was examine taxonomic diversity, richness, distribution patterns climbers relation variables Jhelum District. data were collected from 120 random transects between 2019 2021, 360 sites within triplet quadrats (1080...
Plant species of the Poaceae family are not only used as fodder and forage but also contribute substantially to treatment various health disorders, particularly in livestock. Consequently, present study was aimed document therapeutic uses practiced by inhabitants Punjab Province for veterinary disorders. Semi structured interviews, group discussion field walks were conducted collect data. Quantitative indices including cultural significance index (CSI), relative frequency citations (RFC),...
Our understanding of the diversity and distribution living things is crucial to conservation sustainable use biodiversity. Because biological invasions by alien species pose a significant threat native biodiversity, tracking at various geographical scales has recently gained prominence. The current study designed evaluate composition invasive plants in different habitats Mandi Bahuddin, Punjab, Pakistan. investigation explores impact environmental factors on association with edaphic...
Pteridophytes have been used by humans for millennia, but in comparison to flowering plants, the documentation of their traditional uses is still neglected; as a result, they must be highlighted and popularized. The present study was carried out from January 2019 November 2021 gather ecological use information on pteridophytes local inhabitants Kashmir valley via semi-structured personal interviews group discussions. We recorded 58 pteridophyte species belonging 13 families. distributions...
People have traditionally relied on fish to supply their major food and healthcare needs all across the world. However, there has been little focus traditional dietary, cultural identity, integrity of systems in many rural Himalayan populations. The current study looks into use foraging practices, as well its role local medicine practices. Semi-structured interviews group discussions were used collect data years 2020–2021. analyzed using various statistical indices such fidelity level (FL),...
Plant diversity is lower in arid regions around the world. However, semi-arid have very high species richness and are notable terms of vegetation structure plant diversity. The major goal this study was to assess composition woody with respect edaphic properties lowlands Kasur, Punjab Pakistan. Comprehensive field surveys were conducted botanical Kasur district (Punjab) during 2020–2022. Based on geography richness, 120 sampling sites selected, each site comprising 05 transects 500 m2...
The peri-urban landscape is a highly dynamic area between the urban zone and rural belt. heterogeneous natural around cities provides several ecosystem services, but progressive urbanization affects it results in loss of biodiversity, greenery, related benefits. This study attempts to quantify social amenities associated with services Gujrat district, Pakistan, by using Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) show that for well-being community. Such recreational opportunities represent are...
