Abstract: MARTINEZ, ROMALYN M. Floristic Composition of Sugar Palm (Arenga pinnata (Wurmb) Merr.) Natural Stands in the Riparian Ecosystem of Kayquit I, Indang, Cavite. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2010. Adviser: Dr. Lorenzo C. Lapitan, Jr. A study was conducted to assess the floristic composition of Kaong natural stands in the riparian ecosystem of Kayquit I, Indang, Cavite. Specifically, the study aimed to determine the microclimatic condition; vegetative composition; characteristics of trees in terms of diameter at breast height, basal area and tree height; dominant trees and distribution of tree species in the study area. The study was conducted in the riparian ecosystem of Kayquit II, Indang, Cavite along a section of the Maragondon River Watershed from January to March 2010. Three plots were established with an identified mother plant at the center to support the assessment. The study revealed that Kaong natural growing areas are naturally composed of several species of plants. Trees were not the only type of plant that significantly affected the amount of light that penetrated in the area. Indeed, creeping plants, like vines may have contributed to thicker canopy of trees that hindered much light to penetrate. The topographic position of the area affected the trend of light intensity. In this case, the location was subjected to eastern exposure that made the area open to sunlight in the morning. The presence of surrounding vegetation was important in keeping the area’s temperature low, thus, making it suitable for Kaong growth and development. Variation on tree height and canopy distribution was observed. The area covered by canopy of each individual tree is affected by the degree of slope where it grew. Kaong grow on areas where different types of plants exist. Diversity indices differ on each plot. The same number of species that exist in two plots did not imply that both plots would have the same diversity indices. It depends on the abundance or total number of individual species in each plot.

A study was conducted to assess the floristic composition of Kaong natural stands in the riparian ecosystem of Kayquit I, Indang, Cavite. Specifically, the study aimed to determine the microclimatic condition; vegetative composition; characteristics of trees in terms of diameter at breast height, basal area and tree height; dominant trees and distribution of tree species in the study area. The study was conducted in the riparian ecosystem of Kayquit II, Indang, Cavite along a section of the Maragondon River Watershed from January to March 2010.

Three plots were established with an identified mother plant at the center to support the assessment. The study revealed that Kaong natural growing areas are naturally composed of several species of plants. Trees were not the only type of plant that significantly affected the amount of light that penetrated in the area. Indeed, creeping
plants, like vines may have contributed to thicker canopy of trees that hindered much light to penetrate. The topographic position of the area affected the trend of light intensity. In this case, the location was subjected to eastern exposure that made the area open to sunlight in the morning. The presence of surrounding vegetation was important in keeping the area’s temperature low, thus, making it suitable for Kaong growth and development.

Variation on tree height and canopy distribution was observed. The area covered by canopy of each individual tree is affected by the degree of slope where it grew. Kaong grow on areas where different types of plants exist. Diversity indices differ on each plot. The same number of species that exist in two plots did not imply that both plots would have the same diversity indices. It depends on the abundance or total number of individual species in each plot.
