Species diversity, forest structure and composition of the Mangrove forest in the Sangalang locality, Biliran Island, Philippines

Mangrove forests contribute to the diversity, richness and productivity of coastal ecosystems. Unfortunately, these forest types are vulnerable to both human-caused and natural disturbances. In order to learn more about their diversity, structure and composition, and disturbance impact, nine permanent plots were established across three transect lines in Sangalang mangrove forest. The results showed a […]

Avian species in selected mangrove areas in Siocon, Zamboanga del Norte, Mindanao, Philippines
