This paper reports qualitative and quantitative floristic analysis of composition, diversity and nature of plant communities occurring in the Nawabganj Bird Sanctuary, Uttar Pradesh (India), based on survey, identification and quantification. The keystone plant resources are Acacia nilotica and Prosopis juliflora located in the three islands of the central pond which act as nest-site resources by the Asian openbill storks, the most dominant and regular migratory birds and integral components for sanctuary sustenance.
