<i>Decalobanthus peltatus</i> is a woody vine that commonly utilized in traditional Southeast Asian medicinal preparations. Despite the documented therapeutic uses of D. peltatus, there hardly any information regarding its toxic effects on consumers. In this study, crude leaf extracts (aqueous, methanol, ethyl acetate, and hexane) from <i>D. were prepared evaluated for their embryotoxicity teratogenic effects. Phytochemical screening bioactive compounds plants showed...
Seagrasses are distinct flowering plants which thrive underwater. They part of a complex ecosystem that supports different forms life. Recent studies found out coastal wetlands – mangroves, saltmarshes, and seagrass, far more proficient in sequestering storing carbon than terrestrial ecosystems. Although seagrasses occupy only 0.2% the area oceans, they sequester approximately 15% total storage ocean. Several remote sensing techniques available to map monitor but most them focus on extent...
And Conclusion:Through LiDAR technology, a total of three species mangroves were classified from Bacolod, Lanao del Norte, Philippines.Mangroves can be extracted using Object-Based Image Classification and SVM at an overall accuracy 98.44% with KIA 97%.Consequently, this workflow, already in large-scale or municipal city level acceptable assessments.
Abstract Microplastics (< 5mm) have lately been identified in the atmosphere of urban, suburban, and even distant places far from plastic particle areas, suggesting possibility long-distance atmospheric transport microplastics. However, occurrence, fate, transmission, effects these suspended microplastics (SAMPs) are all currently unknown Philippines. This study investigated presence suspected microplastic sixteen cities one municipality Metro Manila, Sampling was conducted using a...
Rivers are essential sources of plastic litter in the marine environment. Recently, Philippines was reported as biggest polluter from riverine sources. However, litter's origin has been less established. In this study, we determined density, composition, and accumulation on riversides Pulot River its tributary Palawan Island, Philippines. We also identified possible litter. Results showed that density highest at river edge during first sampling period. Litter densities for predefined zones...
Abstract. Flores GMA, Torres AG, ABA, Jakosalem PGC, Guihawan JQ, Roa-Quiaoit HA. 2024. Species composition and conservation of amphibians in Central Panay Mountain Range, Antique, Philippines. Biodiversitas 25: 1797-1808. Assessing amphibian species status Range (CPMR), the largest contiguous forest West Visayas central Philippines, provides relevant updated information on needs amphibians. Opportunistic, visual encounter acoustic surveys were employed across diverse habitats-lowland lower...
Invasive alien plant species (IAPS), when spread outside of their natural range, have the ability to outcompete and displace native species, disrupt ecosystem functioning, degrade habitats, thus becoming one major problems protected areas globally.This present study aimed assess current management strategies, challenges encountered, possible solutions combat IAPS in Initao-Libertad Protected Landscape Seascape (ILPLS) through Key Informant Interview (KII), employing both thematic analysis...
Abstract Background The Sto. Niño site in Benguet province, Philippines was once a mining area that has now been transformed into an agricultural land. In this area, there significant integration of the three indigenous people (IPs) Ibaloi, Kankanaeys and Kalanguyas with Ilocano community. These IPs safeguard biodiversity traditional knowledge, including medicinal plant use. However, documentation these species their applications not systematic, resultant loss knowledge across generations....
The Philippines is a top exporter of marine ornamental fish in the world. Angelfishes (Pomacanthidae) are among most valuable trade, particularly species Centropyge. Assessment their conservation status vital to regulate harvesting, prevent extinction, and sustain industry. Critical information for assessment limited. Thus, this study used local knowledge determine distribution, exploitation, threats Centropyge bispinosa, C. heraldi, bicolor. A total 157 divers, 8 exporters, 18 middlemen...
Abstract. Herbito Jr. LC, Guihawan JQ, Casal CMV, Polestico DLL, Torres AG. 2024. Unveiling the prevalence of invasive alien plant species in multiple-use zone Initao-Libertad Protected Landscape and Seascape, Misamis Oriental, Philippines. Biodiversitas 25: 3286-3294. Invasive Alien Plant Species (IAPS) threaten Areas (PAs) globally, causing habitat degradation, biodiversity reduction, ecosystem disruption. In Philippines, data on PAs is limited. This study aimed to investigate prevalence,...
One of the objectives Republic Act 8435 or Philippines Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization 1997 is to modernize agriculture fisheries sectors by developing it into a technology –supported division. In Philippines, about 32% country's total land areas were agricultural lands. Mapping delineating crops are significant in implementation this Act. Moreover, having an updated accurate inventory resources area critical assessment, planning, development specifically providing necessary...
Mined-out areas and soils following the termination of mining activities are considered marginalized unproductive. The prospects rehabilitating them not only difficult but costly as well. Cost-efficient strategies to rehabilitate mined-out include using microbial biofertilizers an enhancer promote better growth performance plants. This study was conducted determine potential use that will enhance Lahi-lahi (Syzygium acuminatissimum, Blume) seedlings in heavy metal contaminated from Claver...
Two concurrent nursery experiments were conducted following a randomized complete block design (RCBD) aimed at screening the effectiveness of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and nitrogenfixing bacteria (NFB) in promoting growth survival narra seedlings grown Ni Au mined-out soils.Seedlings inoculated with either MYKORICH ® , MYKOVAM newMycorrhiza (newMYC), newNitrogen-fixing (newNFB) combined newMYC newNFB or not (control).Narra uniform amounts microbial biofertilizers for month to ensure...
Sto. Niño is a legacy mine site located in the Tublay municipality of Benguet District northern Luzon, Philippines that was closed and abandoned 1982.The comprises former open pit block caving operation together with rock waste dumps tailings storage facility have had no formal rehabilitation but where local people are now living farming.The GCBC DEFRA funded Bio+Mine project commenced 2022 aims providing an in-depth audit terms geological, hydrological, ecological, social parameters to...
Abstract Mining industries are mandated by law to rehabilitate their mined-out areas. The waste materials, also called as mine tailings left after the extraction of minerals have caused several environmental problems such contamination and alteration soil profiles, pollution waterbodies. Experience in Philippines indicates that mining companies facing major difficulties rehabilitating areas especially raising potential nursery seedlings. Much more outplanting raised seedlings since mortality...
