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....
Background This paper presents the first quantitative ethnobotanical study of flora in Toli Peer National Park Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan. Being a remote area, there is strong dependence by local people on practices. Thus, we attempted to record folk uses native plants area with view acknowledging documenting knowledge. The aims were compile an inventory medicinal methods which herbal drugs prepared administered. Materials Information therapeutic properties was collected from 64...
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,...
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...
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...
Species distribution modelling (SDM) is an important tool to examine the possible change in population range and/or niche-shift under current environment and predicted climate change. Monotheca buxifolia economically ecologically tree species inhabiting Pakistan Afghanistan dense patches, contracting rapidly. This study hypothesize that might remarkably influence existing pattern of M. area. A total 75 occurrence locations were identified comprising as a dominant species. The Maximum Entropy...
This study hypothesized that native people have unique traditional knowledge of plant resources in the rural areas and basic objective was documentation this valuable inheritance. Ethnobotanical data collected from a remote area Mandi Ahmad Abad, Union council number NA-144 Tehsil Depalpur District Okara, Pakistan. A total 94 informants were randomly interviewed to collect about local names species, mode administration, recipes ailments, ethnobotanical uses through semi-structured...
The distribution of large ungulates is more often negatively impacted by the changing climate, especially global warming and species with limited distributional zones. While developing conservation action plans for threatened such as Himalayan goral (Naemorhedus Hardwicke 1825; a mountain goat that mostly inhabits rocky cliffs), it imperative to comprehend how future distributions might vary based on predicted climate change. In this work, MaxEnt modeling was employed assess habitat...
Numerous investigations on plant ethnomedicinal applications have been conducted; however, knowledge about the medicinal use of wild animals is still limited. This present study second and cultural meaning avian mammalian species used by population in surrounding area Ayubia National Park, KPK, Pakistan. Interviews meetings were compiled from participants (N = 182) area. The relative frequency citation, fidelity level, popularity rank order priority indices applied to analyze information....
The documentation of wild ood plants (WFPs) and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) linked to diverse ethnic groups is remarkably important. In this regard, remote mountainous areas are relatively more sensitive due rapidly evolving culture potential climate change. Despite being an agricultural country, Pakistan facing serious threats food security its growing population. This study hypothesized that cultural diversity transportational dynamics WFPs influence gathering consumption in any...
The use of species distribution modelling under climate change to anticipate alterations in species' habitats is a concern ecological conservation.This research aimed simulate the present suitable habitat three that are rare and endemic Pakistan analyse possible consequences on suitability future (2050 2070).We projected potentially distributions using two shared socioeconomic pathways scenarios (SSPs 245 SSPs 585).The potential was modelled with MaxEnt presence-only data, environmental...
The flowering phenology of plants is influenced by the unique set environmental variations, and therefore, elucidation important driving factors important.The study area Dhirkot (western Himalaya, Pakistan) explored to record interactions among vascular current climate along temporal gradient from March-2015 February-2018.A total 38 randomly selected representative sites were visited timing response compared with mean monthly climatic data.Multivariate classification ordination tools used...
The baseline ecological exploratory studies of floristically rich areas like the western Himalaya are very important to determine diversity variations.Based on research gaps detected in literature Himalayan forests Sudhan Gali and Ganga summit, study area is revisited.Plots data was collected during 2016, advanced multivariate statistical tools were used analyze it.Some including permutation test, indicator species analysis variation partitioning (partial CCA) for first time area.The results...
The adverse effects of the weed flora on agricultural yield are well documented.In an agroecosystem, species distribution pattern depends both surrounding environment and farming practices.This first ever study was designed to compare determine richness, their ecologically meaningful groups in wheat maize field Gujrat, Pakistan.In this study, seasonal variation variable satellite derived measurements like normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), moisture (NDMI) topographic wetness...
The phytosociological survey of western Himalayan subtropical and moist temperate forests Tehsil Harighel, District Bagh Azad Jammu Kashmir, Pakistan was carried out during 2015-2017.Sampling done by using random stratified sampling technique at 12 different sites.Based on importance value twelve plant communities were recognized.They merged into three associations cluster analysis Detrended correspondence viz.Olea -Dodonea -Micromeria association, Pinus-Oxalis-Dactylis association...
The composition, structure and distribution of vegetation are influenced by diverse environmental factors. Such research inquiries provide the initial data for future conservation management efforts. study area North Waziristan district, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan comprises forests Spin Ghar Mountain Range (at border areas Afghanistan), a highly remote, mountainous, unexplored region. There was little information on complex relationships that existed between area's ambient environment...
