Abstract

This study deals with the change in the biodiversity in Uyun Layla lakes during the last 30 years. The study revealed that the aquatic habitat has been altered to terrestrial dry habitat with complete alteration in the type of vegetation covering this area. The vegetation was scanty, poor halophytic species. Only, twelve perennial species were recorded during the studied period which lasts for four years, from October 2006 till May 2010. Three other species were found in the first two years only, Molkiopsis ciliate, Capparis orientalis and Salicornica fruticosa. From this study, we can conclude that the aquatic habitats in Saudi Arabia are in danger and needs further attention, study and preservation.
