Wetland, Gujarat, Plant diversityAbstract
Gujarat is a state in India that has a lot of wetlands. Gujarat is actually the top state when it comes to the size of the wetlands because its wetland area makes up an incredible 23% of the nation's total wetland area. According to Space Applications Center (SAC-ISRO), there are 34,749.50 square metres of wetlands overall. In the study on plant diversity of Gujarat, information on primary types of wetlands and their uses as well as their capacity to store water was also obtained. Moreover, some species of plants that thrive in nearby wetlands were also investigated for Gujarat wetland plant diversity., Gujarat wetlands include medicinal plants. Some of their species were found. The paper identified 124 species, 56 genera and 29 families from Gujarat. In 24 herbs, 4 creepers, 4 shrubs and 4 trees were found.
