Abstract

Abstract: This study investigates the taxonomic diversity and conservation status of endemic plant species in the Gangetic plains of Prayagraj. Field surveys and literature review identified 125 endemic plant species, distributed across 45 families and 78 genera. Assessment of their conservation status revealed that 30% of these species are threatened, with 15% categorized as critically endangered. The primary threats to these endemic plants include habitat loss due to urbanization and agricultural expansion, fragmentation, and anthropogenic pressures such as grazing and invasive species encroachment. Conservation efforts are urgently needed to mitigate these threats and ensure the preservation of the unique flora in the Gangetic plains of Prayagraj. Priority actions include habitat preservation, restoration initiatives, and community engagement to promote sustainable land use practices. This research provides valuable insights into the conservation priorities for endemic plant species in this region, serving as a foundation for future conservation strategies and biodiversity management efforts.
普拉亚格拉杰恒河平原特有植物物种的分类多样性和保护现状
摘要:本研究调查了普拉亚格拉杰恒河平原特有植物物种的分类多样性和保护现状。通过实地调查和文献查阅,确定了 125 种特有植物,分布在 45 科 78 属中。对其保护状况的评估显示,其中 30% 的物种受到威胁,15% 被列为极度濒危物种。这些特有植物面临的主要威胁包括城市化和农业扩张导致的栖息地丧失、支离破碎以及放牧和入侵物种侵占等人为压力。目前迫切需要开展保护工作,以减轻这些威胁,确保普拉亚格拉杰恒河平原上的独特植物得以保存。需要优先采取的行动包括保护栖息地、采取恢复措施以及让社区参与进来,促进可持续的土地利用方式。这项研究为该地区特有植物物种的保护重点提供了宝贵的见解,为未来的保护战略和生物多样性管理工作奠定了基础。
