| Abstract | ||||
| The current biodiversity crisis is motivating ecologists and conservation biologists to investigate the effects of human-induced changes to natural resources on species distribution and to comprehend ecological and evolutionary causes of spatial patterns of biodiversity. This work relies heavily on a variety of previously published works, and the large reference section includes all the literature citations required. The First Reach of the Nile River Region (FRNRR) extends from Old Aswan Dam to the new Esna barrages. It’s characterized by a huge number of islands and the maximum flow velocity from Aswan to the Mediterranean. There are few studies covering the flora and biodiversity in this region. This study tries to introduce complete information about this region and its characterized species. The database of the vascular flora of (FRNRR) was compiled, which includes 246 species belonging to 172 genera and 56 families. Pantropical, Palaetropical, and Cosmopolitan elements (54.47 % of the total flora) were the dominant floristic categories among the total number of species. The flora of (FRNRR) contributes about 31.8 % of the whole flora of the Nile region and 11.6% of all species in Egypt. This study is the most recent and exhaustive review to date that examines floristic diversity. | ||||
