Abstract

The work in question deals with an extensive study on the diversity of flowering climbing plants in Digras tehsil of Yavatmal district. The investigation is carried out to survey, identify the climbing species, and determine to what extent their biodiversity has declined in the region in terms of population as well as community level. We identified about 99 species of angiospermic climbers belonging to 35 families. Fabaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Ascelpiadaceae, and Convolvulaceae were found to be the most dominant. Habitat fragmentation, anthropogenic activities, declined pollinator diversity, changing agricultural practices, and less public awareness about the importance of these species influenced the diversity of climbing plants in the area.
