Impact of Headworks of River Chenab on Surrounding Vegetation and Phytodiversity Analysis

This study focused on the impact assessment of wild flora and environmental gradients encompassed by River Chenab headworks using quantitative ecological indices. Quadrats 1 × 1, 5 10 m2 sizes were used for vegetation. Considering data, grazing anthropogenic effects, soil analysis based different physical chemical properties was studied. The relationship between sites their surroundings analyzed Canonical Detrended Correspondence Analysis. Similarity indices revealed through use a heat map dendrogram. As many as 130 plant species, 60 families, comprising 104 species dicots, 17 monocots, 7 pteridophytes 2 bryophytes recorded. Different including organic matter, moisture pH affect vegetation sites. Anthropogenic activities such construction, fishing animal main threats that need to be restricted strategically conserve surrounding
