Abstract
A survey was conducted between October 2020 and June 2020 to determine the diversity, and distribution of plants in 6 sites of the ozat river and to relate species diversity and soil types. The survey examined the vegetation diversity of all sites with the help of a twin belt transect, in which phytosociological parameters such as frequency, density, abundance, relative density, and diversity indices such as Shannon’s index, Simpson index, and Pielou’s index were calculated. Ten (10) quadrates, each of 5 × 5 m, were surveyed at the selected sites of the ozat river. 37 plant species belonging to 35 genera were identified and the dominant species Alternenthera sessile, Parthenium husterophorus, and Acacia Senegal were the most represented. The present study investigated higher species diversity (Shannon index) in the Shapur region (1.79), wherever lower diversity was observed in the Dhanfuiya region (0.7) and higher species richness was observed in Shapur (0.68), whenever lower species richness was observed in Dhanfuiya region (0.89).
