摘要：This study is a broad ecological survey, and classification of the vegetation of Agro Farm plantations of a Tehsil Ferozewala (District Shei khupura) Punjab, Pakistan. The vegetation survey description and classification was according to Zurich-Montpellier School of thought is based on over 300 Relevé Method. In all twelve associations i.e.Suaedetum fruticosae,Kochietum indicumDiplachnetum fuscae,Desmostochyetum bipinnatae,maurorae,Polypogaetum monspeliensae, Erythraeo-Polypogaetummonspeliensae,Veteviarietum cylindrieae,Scirpetum maritimaeand Typhetum angustitae are recognized and each association is further sub-divided into sub-associations and classified into its respective class, order and alliances according to central European Phyto-sociological methods. Several relationships of the plant community types have been worked out during this study. The soil characteristics of each vegetation type are discussed in relation to soil texture; pH, Conductivity, Carbonates, Bicarbonates, Chlorides and Sulphate as well as ecological affinities of each association are also described. By reintegrating these trees and shrubs back into agriculture landscape to reverse salinity such asAtriplex amnicla,Tamarix aphylla,Phoenix dactilifera,Prosopisspp.Susbenia bispinasa,Sesbenia sesbena,Casorina, Grewia asiatie, Psidium guavaetc. The incorporation of these plants (grasses, shrubs and trees) into agriculture land system of the Punjab has potential to increase crop, fiber, wood and animal production and degradation of land will also be halted.
