摘 要:Plant biodiversity plays a major role for sustaining livelihood of rural ***,unsustainable exploitation of woody plants for firewood in Niger is creating ecological *** study aims to evaluate plant species composition,richness and equitability for sustainable and inclusive management in rural *** vegetation inventory method was ***-eight plots each measuring 2500 m^(2)were laid down systematically on a transect with the village at the *** each plot,plant species were identified and the number of each species counted.A total of twenty-five(25)plant species belonging to thirteen(13)families were identified among which Guiera senegalensis *** for 61%.The Shannon index was low(H’=0.45)as well as species equitability(E=0.14).Species richness differed significantly(p0.000)with land use type with agroforestry parklands recording significantly higher species compared to *** effective plant biodiversity restoration and management,irrigated agroforestry is recommended to restore ecological balance and to assure and improve the quality of plant biodiversity in the study area.
