Abstract

Aims: To identify and document the trees and shrubs found in the Naraguta Campus of the University of Jos. Study Design:  Systematic randomized sampling. Place and Duration of Study: University of Jos Naraguta campus, between March 2020 and April 2020. Methodology: A ten (10) 50 x 50 m plots were established and each being at least 250m apart using measuring tape to obtain data on the trees and shrubs of the area. The coordinates for the points where plots occur were recorded using Garming Extrax Global Positioning System (GPS) machine. Results: A total of sixty three (63) species, belonging to thirty (30) families were recorded during the study. The most species abundant families were the Anacardiaceae, Apocynaceae, Caesalpinaceae, Mimoseceae, Moraceae, Myrtaceae and Annonaceae respectively. Conclusion: To conclude, this research work has revealed the diversity of trees and shrubs in the Naraguta campus of the University of Jos, alongside their local names, common names, families, and locations.
