Abstract
Phytosociological study of coastal flora of Devbhoomi Dwarka district and its islands in the Gulf of Kachchh, Gujarat
Highlights
Coastal landscapes and their typical ecosystems are highly dynamic and fragile which are characterized by steep environmental gradients and controlled by geomorphological, physical and biological processes
The present study aims to generate such information of coastal terrestrial flora of Devbhoomi Dwarka District and its islands in Gulf of Kachchh (GoK)
The results in the present study clearly show that, the Coastal areas of Devbhoomi Dwarka district and its islands are rich in phytodiversity
Summary
Coastal landscapes and their typical ecosystems are highly dynamic and fragile which are characterized by steep environmental gradients and controlled by geomorphological, physical and biological processes. Coastal areas form a unique ecosystem owing to combined influence of both fresh and saline water. This interaction causes the coastal landforms to support large diversity of flora and fauna which are crucial to the ecosystem. Food and fodder for fauna as well as protection from the wave action. Coastal sand is continually being eroded and deposited on the shore by wave action. Apart from natural events, coastal areas are subjected to constant anthropogenic pressure which disturbs the coastal ecosystem. It is a subject of prime importance to study the coastal areas in their natural state
