Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate the impact of Libda cement plant in Souq Al-Khamis area on the vegetation cover in the area around the plant. The objective of this study was to quantify the vegetation cover in the vicinity of the plant at different distances and in the four main directions, in terms of spatial distribution, plant diversity and ecological characteristics of plant communities. The results showed a clear effect of Libda cement plant on density of the vegetation cover and biodiversity in the region. The results showed a significant change in the Shannon Biodiversity Index in different locations according to the direction of the wind and the distance from the plant. It also showed a greater dominance of plants that tolerate difficult environmental conditions at the sites nearby to the plant, especially in the direction of the wind.
