Analyziz Ecological Importance of Floral Biodiversity Along the Natural Stadium Pissan Valley Distric Nager

Abstract

The world’s highest natural Cricket Stadium is located in Pissan Valley at District Nagar of Gilgit Baltistan, Pakistan at an elevation of 8,500 feet above sea level. Cricket Stadium is around 1.5 km above the Main Bazar. Stadium is located under the shoulder of the ferocious snow-covered Rakaposhi and Diran peaks. The present study was carried out from August-September 2024. The collected specimens consist of (51) plant species that belonged to 44 genera and 27 families. The life forms of the collected species were 26 (50.98%) where Hemicryptophyte were dominant, 12 (23.52%) Chaemophyte, 7 (13.72%) Phanerophyte, 6 (11.76%) Therophytes  and Geophytes were 0 (0%). The breakup of the habit categories shows that the herbs with 31 (60.78%) species were dominant to show the flora of the study area, followed by shrubs with 10 (19.60%) species which shows the flora of the study area. Subshrubs by 8 (15.68%) and trees 2 (3.92%) contained the flora of the study area. We studied three stands and, in each stand, we placed sixty quadrate to recognize the dominant flora based on IVI. We recognized the dominant lifeform Hemicryptophytes. The phytosociological studies provided all required information from each stand like dominant habit categories, dominant life forms, and dominant taxa in the study area.
