Abstract
Urbanization is a leading cause of habitat loss and fragmentation, posing significant threats to native plant biodiversity in tropical ecosystems. This study investigates the effects of urban expansion on the diversity and distribution of native plant species in selected regions of Southeast Asia. We conducted comprehensive field surveys and employed remote sensing techniques to assess the extent of urban encroachment and its impact on plant communities. Our findings reveal a marked decline in native plant species richness in urbanized areas, with significant implications for ecosystem services and conservation strategies. The study emphasizes the need for sustainable urban planning and habitat restoration efforts to mitigate biodiversity loss.
