Abstract
The present study investigates the
phytodiversity and vegetation structure of the Jorbeer Conservation Reserve,
located in Bikaner District of Rajasthan. Through systematic quadrat sampling
and field surveys, the diversity, frequency, density, and dominance of plant
species were calculated. In the study area, a total of 35 species belonging to 30 genera and 19
families were recorded. out
of the 35 recorded species, 6 species were trees, 9 species were Shrubs, 20
species were herbaceous. In the study area invasive species Prosopis juliflora
(Vilayati babool) were also observed. The Shannon-wiener diversity index and
Simpson Dominance index indicated moderate diversity, with shrub and herbaceous
species forming the major vegetative structure. The Shannon-wiener diversity
index (H’), Simpson Dominance index (D) and Gini-Simpson Index of diversity
(1-D) for different life forms lies between the range of 1.65 – 2.36, 0.120 –
0.216 and 0.754 – 0.880 respectively. The study provides essential baseline
data for future conservation and habitat management strategies.
