Abstract

This study investigates the ecological consequences of overgrazing and land use change on pasture biodiversity in Nagaur District, Rajasthan. Field surveys and vegetation analyses were conducted across 10 representative sites. Results revealed a significant decline in native grass species and soil quality due to excessive grazing pressure and conversion of pastures into cropland and built-up areas. Biodiversity indices such as the Shannon–Weiner Index declined from 2.84 in low-grazed zones to 1.27 in heavily grazed areas. The study highlights urgent needs for sustainable grazing practices and community-based land management to preserve the region’s rangeland ecosystems.
