Conclusion

Investigation of floristic diversity and effects of invasive species in Telangana\'s Utnoor Forest points towards the severe threat posed by biological invasions to native ecosystems. The occurrence of invasive plant species has greatly disturbed the forest community, causing native vegetation to be replaced, ecological processes to be interrupted, and habitat quality to decline. The results highlight the imperative necessity of efficient management plans to check the spread of alien species and restore ecological equilibrium. Conservation practices like timely detection, restoration of habitats, community engagement, and eco-friendly land use practices are necessary to reduce the adverse impacts of such species. Furthermore, policy measures and scientific research should lay emphasis on formulating long-term approaches to preserve biodiversity in Utnoor Forest. Conservation of this area\'s high floral variety is important for ecosystem stability maintenance as well as local communities\' and wildlife dependence on these natural resources. It forms a premise for further investigations of ecological preservation and invasive alien plant control within forest ecosystems.
