Plant Species in Saline Agricultural Lands of Egypt, 2022

A list of plant species recorded in agroecosystems affected by salinity during 2022. Species are categorized by family, life span, life form, and phyto-geographical affinity, with Arabic names included. The dataset is provided by Entesar Abou Glida and was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing plant family distribution in saline agroecosystems based on taxonomic classification
• Studying the prevalence of annual versus perennial species in stressed agricultural lands based on life span data
• Mapping phyto-geographical affinities of species in specific Egyptian regions based on the provided regional codes
• Investigating the relationship between life forms (e.g., Therophyte, Geophyte) and salinity tolerance

Strengths

• Includes taxonomic classification with family, genus, and species names arranged alphabetically
• Provides multiple ecological classifications: life span, life form, and phyto-geographical affinity
• Contains Arabic names for species, supporting local identification

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• The dataset is very small (29.5 KB), indicating a limited scope of observations
