Abstract: RAMOS, ELMA ESCOVER. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite, March 2000, “Analysis of Understory Vegetation of the International Institute of Rural Reconstruction Forest in Biga, Silang, Cavite.” Adviser: Dr. Danilo F. Guinto A survey of the understory vegetation of the International Institute of Rural Reconstruction forest in Biga, Silang, Cavite was conducted to: (1) determine the floristic composition of the understory vegetation; (2) determine the dominance and importance of individual species; (3) examine the diversity or richness of understory plant species; (4) describe the relationship between species occurrence and habitat area; and (5) measure parameters that may affect understory vegetation. The campsite (site A) and the mini-forest (site B) were selected for the study to compare vegetation parameters such as frequency (F), relative frequency (RF), relative density (RD), basal area (BA), relative dominance (RDO), importance value (IV), dominance index (DI). Species diversity, soil properties and litter biomass in the two sites were also compared. The findings revealed that the understory vegetation of the IIRR is composed of 38 plant species. Coffea robusta is the most frequently occurring plant species in the area. This is not surprising because nearby areas were planted to coffee in the past. Triplaris cumingiana (siteA) and Macfadyena spp. (site B) were the most abundant, important and dominant understory plant species in the IIRR forest. The two sites have vegetation which are quite dissimilar at the level of species, while other parameters, namely: species diversity indices, soil properties and litter biomass did not differ significantly.

A survey of the understory vegetation of the International Institute of Rural Reconstruction forest in Biga, Silang, Cavite was conducted to: (1) determine the floristic composition of the understory vegetation; (2) determine the dominance and importance of individual species; (3) examine the diversity or richness of understory plant species; (4) describe the relationship between species occurrence and habitat area; and (5) measure parameters that may affect understory vegetation.

The campsite (site A) and the mini-forest (site B) were selected for the study to compare vegetation parameters such as frequency (F), relative frequency (RF), relative density (RD), basal area (BA), relative dominance (RDO), importance value (IV), dominance index (DI). Species diversity, soil properties and litter biomass in the two sites were also compared.

The findings revealed that the understory vegetation of the IIRR is composed of 38 plant species. Coffea robusta is the most frequently occurring plant species in the area. This is not surprising because nearby areas were planted to coffee in the past. Triplaris cumingiana (siteA) and Macfadyena spp. (site B) were the most abundant, important and dominant understory plant species in the IIRR forest.

The two sites have vegetation which are quite dissimilar at the level of species, while other parameters, namely: species diversity indices, soil properties and litter biomass did not differ significantly.
