The botanical expeditions to change Valley, District Shangla,
Pakistan, were made during April 2004 to September 2005. The main
aim of the study was to explore plant biodiversity of the area. The
study documented 172 plant species, distributed across 65 families
and 139 genera. Pteridophytes were represented by 7species and 5
genera, belonging to 4 families. Gymnosperms consisted of 7 species
of 6 genera belonging to 2 families. Angiosperms were represented
by 59 families; of these 143 species of 116 genera in 53 families
were dicots, while 15 species of 13 genera in 7 families were
monocots. The most important and prominent families in terms of
species diversity were Rosaceae (18 species), Lamiaceae (13
species), Asteraceae (10 species) and Poaceae (7 species). The
Plant Biodiversity of the area is under heavy biotic pressure of
grazing, fuel wood collection, deforestation, habitat
fragmentation, medicinal plants collection, over consumption of
resources and spread of alien invasive species. The lack of an
efficient environmental legislation, awareness and education are
root causes which enhance the loss of plant biodiversity in the
area.
