This study was conducted in at Elsuki area, Sinnar State, Sudan with the objective of studying the vegetation
diversity at savannah rangeland in the Sudan. Five major transects were taken, each transect 3000m length and 10m
width, their total area of the study is 150.000m2 which it is about 10% of the total area. Vegetation diversity indices was
assessed and calculated. In this study diversity indices of vegetation was grouped into three categories were high,
Middle, and low. The results indicated that the variation in the diversity indices between the five transects as the result
of variable transects. The species of highest diversity indices were Phyllonthus niruri and Cucumis melo while species of
Acnthespermum hispidum, and Sporobolus pyramidatus had middle and lowest percent for the seasons 2012 and 2013
respectively. Acacia mellifra and Sporobolus pyramidatus had a highly shrubs diversity indices. Acalypha indica had a
highly frequency percentage shared with Commelina amplexicaulisin and Commelina kotschyi .The study concluded
that unwise utilization and exploitation of the rangelands particularly by man causes range deterioration and serious
reduction in range production in both quantity and quality.
