目前的调查是在巴基斯坦的盐岭地区进行的，关于草的形态，以帮助正确识别，它们的分布和本地使用在该地区。该研究区以其巨大的盐储量而闻名于世，并具有丰富的植物多样性。从研究区采集到62种禾本科植物，分属于11个族。最大的族是Paniceae，其次是Andropogoneae，分别有18种和12种。牧草在当地人民的经济生活中占有重要地位。草主要用作该地区的饲料;一些草用于盖屋顶和药用目的。由于过度放牧，草的生境恶化。建议在未来的研究中就地保护
The present investigations were carried out in Salt Range area of Pakistan, regarding the morphology of grasses as an aid to their correct identification, their distribution and indigenous uses in the area. The study area is globally known by its large salt reserves and it has rich floral diversity. From the study area 62 species of grasses belonging to 11 tribes were collected. The largest tribe was Paniceae followed by Andropogoneae having 18 and 12 species, respectively. The grasses play an important role in economy of the people of the area. Mainly, grasses are used as fodder in the area; some grasses are used for thatching and for medicinal purpose. There is deterioration of the habitat of grasses due to overgrazing. In situ conservation is recommended for future research
