Assessment of Vegetation Change on Semi Arid Zone of the Sudan, Case Study Alfashir Locality

The study was conducted at Alfashir, North Darfur State, Sudan, for two consecutive years 2016 and 2017 during flowering and seed setting stages. The objectives of this study were to evaluate range condition and trend by monitoring vegetation changes overtime. Vegetation Measurements were done to collect data on the following range composition, species composition, plant density, ground cover and dry matter yield. The result showed highly plant and lower litter and bare soil at first period also first period had higher ground cover, plant density and productivity than second period. The study showed that some species were disappear at the second period like Corchorus olitorius, Requenia obcordata and Zornia sp. While the species of Eragrostis sp was appear at second season. The study concluded that some species were not found at the second period, the reason may be high competition between species and variation of rainfall. Further research works is needed to monitoring vegetation change and assess the rangelands across different ecological zones in North Darfur State. Mohamed Almontasir A. M.
