Abstract

This study focused on determining the diversity and distribution of Lygodium sp. on the 900-hectare verdant forest land of Nagpana, Barotac Viejo, Iloilo. The researcher utilized the transect and quadrat sampling and tally technique for the determination of the diversity index, richness, evenness and distribution of Lygodium sp. The sampling was carried out in eight (8) different study areas with equivalent coordinates. Within each site, a 3000-meter transect was laid in the approaches of the central part of the total sampling area. Each site is divided into down, middle and uphill elevations. At every elevation, a ten by ten (10x10) meter quadrat was laid along the transect; at downhill, (0 m.); middle hill, (1500 m.); and uphill (3000 m.). All individual Lygodium species on each quadrat was counted and identified. Taxa of Nito plants were identified through researcher references. Three (3) species were recorded (L. japonicum, L. circinnatum and L. flexuosum) and 57,932 individuals were sampled in eight (8) study areas. In addition, these three species are common in all study areas. The diversity index and evenness did not vary from downhill, middle hill and uphill. This indicates that all species were evenly distributed in all study areas. Nito species should be further studied since it provides livelihood to the people in the Aeta community, specifically in terms of sustainability.
