Abstract

This study was conducted in locality of algoze (Aldobibat) Natural Reserved Forest, South Kordofan-State-Sudan. The main objective of this research study is to assess the weeds species diversity in the study area and to identify, documents species of the native flora of the study area. Some ecological parameters such as density, frequency, abundance and the relationship between it were tested, chi-square (x^ (2)) -test used for types of association and the taxonomic studies included collection; identification and classification were done . The results documented that the forest is rich in tree species biodiversity, where 113 species were identified and recorded belong to 33families. However, the results indicated significant increase (p >0.05) in the number of trees/ha during 2019 to 2022. The most dominant families were Poaceae ,Mimosaceae and Fabaceae ,where the less dominant families' were Aristolochiacee , Balanitaceae ,Burseraceae ,Caesalpiniaceae, Cleomaceae ,Commelinaceae ,Cyperaceae, Nyctaginaceae, Rhaminacaea, Rubiaceae.,some families are disappears . The ecological studies cited as in table (1) and the degree of association as in table (2). During this period strong positive correlation between climate factors was observed. The study concluded that human activities were the main factors influenced diversity and regeneration of weeds.
