Abstract
Documenting campus flora is a vital step in understanding biodiversity,
maintaining ecological balance, and promoting sustainable resource management.
This study presents a comprehensive survey of plant species recorded within the
campus of the Government. P.G. College Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India. A total of
152 species were identified, representing 59 botanical families. Among
59 families, 4 belong to Gymnosperms, 11 to Monocotyledons, and 44 to
Dicotyledons angiosperms. The flora includes trees (52), shrubs (35), herbs
(60), and climbers (4) and one parasitic plant. Dominant families such as
Euphorbiaceae (12) Moraceae (9), Asteraceae (9), Apocyanaceae (7), Fabaceae
(7), and Caesalpiniaceae (7) highlight the diversity of functional groups and
ecological roles. The study emphasizes the medicinal, ornamental, and economic
importance some of species such as Azadirachta indica, Ocimum sanctum,
Cassia fistula, Rauvolfia serpentina, Terminalia Arjuna and Bougainvillea
spectabilis. Invasive species like Parthenium hysterophorus and Lantana
camara were also recorded, underscoring challenges to native biodiversity.
The findings contribute to regional biodiversity databases, provide a
foundation for conservation strategies, and highlight the role of institutional
campuses as biodiversity refuges in urban landscapes. This research enriches
ecological knowledge, fosters environmental awareness, and supports sustainable
development initiatives in the National Capital Region.
