The anthropogenic disturbance on vegetation in El-Maktala coastal land, an unprotected area in the north western coast of the Egypt. That has recently been subjected to blatant encroachments of vegetation, were studied. The most important of these threats is the construction of the road and grazing, 27 species are reported in this study; the most represented plant families are Poaceae (18.5%) and Asteraceae (14.8%). Perennial, chamaephyte and Mediterranean species were recorded in the highest percentage. Canonical correspondence analysis showed that silt, clay, sand contents, PH, EC and CaCO3 content are the factors that have the highest effect on vegetation distribution in the studied stands. The diversity indices in the studied area was moderate. According to Sorenson’s coefficient, these communities have quite a bit of overlap or similarity. The Vegetation Quality Index indicated that coastal land is highly sensitive to desertification, as decrease in plant cover. Recently, the violation and destruction of wildlife have increased, therefore, preserving it along with general biodiversity has become an urgent necessity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
