Abstract

Ecological Survey on a Recently Disturbed Plant Community in Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka, Anambra State

Highlights

Species distribution and abundance are fundamental to understanding patterns of communities and their relations to environmental conditions [1] [2]
From the table 1, results showed that Pennisetum purpureum had the highest density followed by Bidenspilosa and Calapagonium mucunoides, while Chloris pilosa, Gomphrena celosoides, Paspalum scrobiculatum and Sida linifolia were of the lowest and of the same density, followed by Combretum hispidum
The results shows that Aspiliabussei has the highest density followed by Sidaacuta, Ageratum conizoides while Sidalinifolia, Combretumhispidium, Hiptislanceolata and Celosia leptoscachya had the lowest and same density, followed by Euphorbia hirta and Mimosa invisa with the same density

Summary

Introduction

Species distribution and abundance are fundamental to understanding patterns of communities and their relations to environmental conditions [1] [2]. [6]described vegetation as an assemblage with plants growing together in a particular location and may be characterized either by its component species or by the combination of functional and structural character that characterizes the appearance of the vegetation. This is an important distinction which is reflected by the range of methods available for describing the vegetation. Methods based on species composition or floristic are more useful for large-scale (small area) studies of a more detailed botanical nature
