摘      要：Ohud mountain is one of the main important historic sites in the Arab Peninsula,and it is distinguishable over the rest of the mountains in the *** extensive floristic survey has been carried out on Ohud mountain because of the rugged topography of this *** current study investigates the floristic diversity and the correspondence of environmental factors of the phytogeographical distribution of plants,based on the floristic analysis of the present *** research question is about the relationships between the species diversity and the human impacts of populated area at lowlands around Ohud mountain.A total of 59 species belonging to 56 genera and 28 families were *** had the highest contribution,about 12%of the total plant *** analysis of the life forms demonstrated the prevalence of therophytes(68%)followed by chamaephytes(24%),indicating the adaptation of these life forms to hyperarid *** chorological analysis indicated the predominance of the bi-regional taxa over the other *** of the recorded plant species belong to Saharo-Arabian and Sudano-Zambezian(24%)*** analysis was performed to detect the indicator species of different vegetation groups and confirmed by detrended correspondence analysis(DCA or DECORANA).It is concluded that species richness and diversity revealed clear variation along the mountain and among the studied *** species diversity and richness were more pronounced in the intermediate portion of the elevation gradients across the mountain,with a decrease in the high altitudinal *** decrease was also recorded at the lower altitudes,where human impacts clearly affected vegetation;leading to a decrease in alpha *** addition,the beta diversity among moderately highlands and lowlands was considerably high indicating the heterogeneous species composition among the studied sites along mountain *** general pattern of vegetation groups di
