Altitude, as a key environmental factor, shapes the spatial patterns of species diversity, phylogenetic and community structure. Studying grassland diversity structure along altitudinal gradients helps clarify how altitude-driven changes influence assembly, reveal vertical in formation. This study examines grasslands at 1300–2500 m elevation Two-River Source Forest Area, Altai Mountains, Xinjiang. Six (200 intervals) were surveyed with 90 quadrats, documenting characteristics data. The analyzes composition, phylogeny across different explores their relationships factors. results indicate that composition is dominated by from Poaceae, Rosaceae, Asteraceae families, Poa annua (annual bluegrass) being dominant within Poaceae. gradient exhibits bimodal trend, an initial increase, followed decrease, another finally decline rises. In contrast, shows unimodal pattern, characterized increase increasing elevation. Although did not exhibit significant trend transitioning divergence to clustering gradient, overall pattern communities tended toward clustering. Further analysis reveals correlations between factors such temperature, precipitation, forest cover, soil moisture. However, no found have correlation indices.

Ethnobotanical knowledge of plants in rural and remote areas is more common Pakistan than urban areas. This study was carried out to find the indigenous anthropogenically disturbed Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Eight visits (Two per season) were from March 2023 2024. The semi- structured questionnaire administered informants analyzed using informant consensus factor (ICF), use values (UV), fidelity level (FL%), average direct matrix ranking (ADMR), Jaccard index (JI). A total 138 plant species belonging 54 families, Asteraceae with highest number (14) recorded 101 informants. Herbs dominant (75%) leaves most used parts (43%). ICF value 0.97 indicated a high among regarding for kidney disorders. UV 0.78 showed maximum ear diseases. FL% 91.8 A. sativum alopecia. For medicinal purposes, ADMR came first. JI that 73 all three area highly by anthropogenic activities. However, it still contains rich diversity resources. Furthermore, investigation required conservation utilization resources, discovery novel drugs climate resilience welfare mankind.
