Ecoclimatic and floral Assessment in the Beed area of Churu District, Rajasthan

This study examines the ecoclimatic factors and floral diversity in the Dabla Beed and Ratan Nagar Beed areas of Churu District, Rajasthan. Climatic data for 2019 and 2020, obtained from the Meteorological Department, Jaipur, were analyzed alongside field surveys conducted across different seasons. Results showed extreme temperature variations, with summer highs exceeding 50°C and winter lows dropping below -1.5°C. Relative humidity varied seasonally, with the lowest levels in pre-monsoon months and peaks during the monsoon. Rainfall predominantly occurred between June and September, influencing the growth of xerophytes, thorn forests, drought-resistant shrubs and seasonal grasses. The study underscores the importance of climate-adaptive strategies for biodiversity conservation in this arid region.
