Researcher at University of Okara, Pakistan

I am an ecologist working on multiple aspects of vegetation in subtropical regions of Pakistan. Currently, I am working as a research scholar at the University of Okara, Pakistan. My current work focuses on species distribution modeling, the impact of climate change on indigenous flora, the ecological status of plants in semi-arid regions of Pakistan, and vegetation patterns in subtropical regions of Pakistan. My interest research topics are ethnobotany, forest resources utilization, Phytogeographical distribution of plants, conservation of threatened species, invasion biology, climate change, and species distribution modeling.
