Abstract
Rapid urbanization poses significant threats to native plant species, leading to habitat fragmentation and biodiversity loss. This study examines the ecological impacts of urban expansion on native flora across various urban gradients. By analyzing plant species composition and abundance in urban, suburban, and rural areas, we identify key factors contributing to species decline. Our findings suggest that urban heat islands, pollution, and invasive species are major drivers of ecological change. Implementing green infrastructure and conservation corridors could mitigate negative impacts, promoting biodiversity within urban landscapes.
