  This study aimed to assess the ecological status of medicinal plant in Sokoto Metropolis, Sokoto state, Nigeria. Data for this research was collected using three out five land use types. The three Land Use Types (woodlot, farmland and Fadama land) were purposively selected in each LGA based on accessibility. Using a sampling intensity of 2% proportionate to size, sampling plots (50 m x 50 m) were demarcated in each LUT for tree species enumeration. Five sub-plots (5 m x 5 m) were established in each plot for wildlings and saplings assessments. All plants were identified to species level. Relative density and Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H ́) were computed. Eucalyptus camaldulensis (29.4%), Adansonia digitata (28.8%) and Azadirachta indica (94.6%) were the relative density in Fadama land, Farmland and woodlot respectively. There were 34 plant species representing 23 families across.. Read More»
