Abstract

Investigating the floristic diversity indices of plant species in district Charsadda, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan

Highlights

  • The word floristic is derived from flora whichA huge number of plant species are yet to be means to list all types of plant species or plant uncovered by the botanist

  • Floristic study provide information about new species in a specific area, so by that way we can analysis about migrated plants species [5]

  • District Charsadda is located in the west of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan

Summary

Introduction

A huge number of plant species are yet to be means to list all types of plant species or plant uncovered by the botanist. The biological spectrum was formed which showed that therophytes (66 spp., 45.20%), microphanerophytes (22 spp., 15.06%) (Fig. 4), chamaephytes (18 spp., 12.32%), hemicryptophytes (14 spp., 9.58%), nanophanerophytes (10 spp., 18.5%), different season geophytes (9 spp., 6.16%), megaphanerophytes (4 spp., 2.75%), mesophanerophytes (2 spp., 1.36%) and parasite (1 spp., 0.68%) had occurrence in the studied area (Table 1). The results of seasonal variation in different life classes revealed that in spring the therophytes (38 spp., 35.51%) were dominant followed by microphanerophytes (22 spp., 20.56%), chaemophytes (14 spp., 13.08%), nanophanerophytes (10 spp., 9.34%) and geophytes (9 spp., 8.41%). The dominant in summer the maximum numbers of species (52 spp., 41.6%) were therophytes followed by Microphanerophytes (22 spp., 17.6%), chaemophytes and hemicryptophytes (14 spp., 11.2%), followed by nanophanerophytes (10 spp., 8%), while in autumn, the dominant species were microphanerophytes (22 spp., 30.55%).
