Simpson’s Diversity index of Macroflora at Khajuraho Group of Monuments

A study assessing the Simpson’s Diversity Index of macroflora at the Khajuraho Group of Monuments reveals significant biodiversity on monumental surfaces, with plant species contributing to the deterioration and damage of these heritage structures. The research highlights climate as a pivotal factor influencing the growth of macro organisms, which in turn accelerates the degradation process. This finding underscores the urgent need for long-term preservation strategies that account for both cultural and ecological factors. The study employed a quantitative approach to analyze floral diversity, providing insights into the biological pressures affecting these UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
