Impact of climate change on Phyto diversity in region of Aligarh Area

Abstract

Diversity in biotic community is highly essential for the maintenance of balance in the environment. Plants take up carbon di oxide and that leads to the photosynthetic activity which is responsible for the sustenance of the plants. On the other hand, the living organisms depend on plants for their daily needs. Therefore, maintaining a proper balanced biodiversity is highly essential for nourishment of every living organism. In the process of finding out the floral diversity of area, a comprehensive study of the plants growing in that area should be gathered. One of the major concerns of the environment today is the loss of biodiversity that includes varieties of plants, animals and microorganisms that exist on the surface of planet Earth. This rich biodiversity of life has ever been instrumental in providing humanity with food security, shelter, healthcare and to certain extent, industrial goods and livelihood leading to improvement in people’s standard of living in the modern world. Further, biodiversity plays a unique role in the evolution and differentiation of various species. It sustains the system we live in and forms a part of our daily lives. Biodiversity is defined as the variation of biotic organisms present in terrestrial, aquatic and other ecosystems, and when we studying about plants only then this diversity is called phyto diversity. Plant species present in one habitat differ from one another in having different genetic makeup. So, we have different diversity in different region. Aligarh region also is full of diversity of plants, so we make a try to study phyto diversity of this area and the work is in front of you.
