INTRODUCTIONPhilippines – global biodiversity
hotspot with high degrees of species richness and endemism
(Ashton, et al. 2000). presence of extensive plant
diversity – natural habitat/ “life giver”
10,000 – 14,000 plants species½ endemic species
Mindanao – highest among the 5 major center of endemism in Philippines (Amoroso, et.al.
2003)
Misamis Oriental covers 45,026 hectares of the total forest cover
of Region 10 – Northern Mindanao
Of the 10 highest mountains in the Philippines, six are on the island. (Amoroso, et.al. 2003).
RISKS Continued forest desolation activities and the alarming natural calamities affecting
today’s vegetation of plants need immediate attention before they
are lost in the biosphere.Sugbongcogon municipality – slowly undergoing an urban
development
GENERAL OBJECTIVES:
To assess the species of angiosperms, gymnosperms, pteridophytes and its allies, and bryophytes in the
three selected areas on the municipality of Sugbongcogon,
Misamis Oriental.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:1. identify the different species of
angiosperms, gymnosperms, pteridophytes and its allies, and
bryophytes plants flourishing in the selected areas;
2. compare the species evenness of each plant species between each selected
areas; and
3. ascertain the species diversity and richness of the different plant species in
the selected area.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
Studies and researches on plant diversity in the municipality of Sugbongcogon, Misamis Oriental is almost nonexistent in the local and international literature.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
A pioneering study that will provide a checklist on the different plant species thriving in the three selected areas.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
To determine the conservation status of the species identified and takes in the consideration with the prospect of discovering rare or new species.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
Provide data to the local government unit (LGU) in the Sugbongcogon that will serve as baseline information for further research on the protection, conservation, and presentation of such species
SCOPE AND LIMITATION
•residential area at Barangay Mangga•area near water fall at Barangay Poblacion•agricultural area at Barangay Kiraging
Figure 2. Map of the Selected Sampling Sites
• 200 feet - length of the transect line per sampling site • Epiphytic plants which will be found beyond two meters (2 m) above the ground were not included
SCOPE AND LIMITATION
• Morphological traits will only be the basis on the identification of the plant, and naming of the species would be done in lowest possible taxon.
• Regardless of molecular level
SCOPE AND LIMITATION
• The sampling will be conducted on the months of September and October 2017 in the first semester.
• Saturday and Sunday weekends of the month.
