MANGROVE FOREST

MANGROVES are unique and highly


productive ecosystems found in tropical
and subtropical regions, primarily along
coastlines. They are characterized by
dense, salt-tolerant trees and shrubs that
grow in saline or brackish water.
TYPES OF MANGROVE
BLACK MANGROVE
-The black mangrove
(Avicennia germinans ) lives
on higher ground and
develops many specialized
root-like structures called
pneumatophores.
RED MANGROVE
-The red mangrove (Rhizophora
mangle) is distributed in estuarine
ecosystems throughout the tropics.
-it can grow up to 30 feet (9m)
-Red mangrove is from the US and are
native to Florida,Puerto Rico,and the
Virgin Islands.
-but they are also present as an
exotic species in Hawaii.
BEACH FOREST

Beach forests, also known as coastal forests or coastal woodlands,


are unique ecosystems that occur along the coastlines of many
countries. These forests are characterized by their proximity to the
ocean and are influenced by the salt spray, high winds, and sandy
soils found in these areas.
BEACH SPECIES
Albizia retusa. Alstonia scholaris.
Albizia procera. Ardisia squamulosa.
Alstonia macrophylla. Atuna racemose.
Allophylus cobbe. Barringtonia asiatica.
Ardisia pyramidalis. Barringtonia acutargula.
ALBIZIA RETUSA ALBIZIA PROCERA
ALSTONIA MACROPHYLLA ALLOPHYLUS COBBE
ARDISIA PYRAMIDALIS ALSTONIA SCHOLARIS
ARDISIA SQUAMULOSA ATUNA RACEMOSA
BARRINGTONIA ASIATICA BARRINGTONIA ACUTARGULA
MOLAVE FOREST
The molave forest is a dry, monsoonal
forest which is found only in parts of the
western Philippine (central Luzon,
Mindoro, and Palawan).

country’s high plateau regions

-This is in the altitude ranging from seven to


eight meters above the sea level.
BENEFITS FOR PEOPLE:

they release oxygen. Pine trees also help to filter water runoff, which can improve water quality.
Recreation: Pine forests are popular destinations for recreation activities such as hiking, camping, fishing, and hunting.
Economic benefits: Pine forests provide a variety of economic benefits, such as timber, pulpwood, and non-timber forest products like pine
nuts, pine needles, and pine cones.

BENEFITS FOR SPECIES:


Habitat: Pine forests provide habitat for a variety of wildlife species, including birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and insects. Pine
trees provide food and shelter for many animals.
Food: Pine trees produce a variety of food sources for animals, including seeds, pollen, and nectar.

Insects: beetles, butterflies, and moths
Pine forests are essential for the health of ecosystems and for the survival of many species. We must protect our pine forests to ensure
that they continue to provide these benefits for future generations.

FOREST

Many giant trees of the lowland rain forest are members of the hardwood family called dipterocarps, known to
Filipinos by such names as apitong, bagtikan, lauan, tangile, guijo, and yakal. The crowns of these trees extend 30 to
50 meters high, and their trunks may reach almost two meters indiameter.

The dipterocarp forests are the hunting ground of the leopard cat (Cynocephalus variegatus), while proboscis monkey
(Nasalis larvatus) and the Bornean tarsier (Tarsius bancamus) can also be found. Proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus).
These monkeys are living highly specialized lives in the mangrove forest.

Dipterocarps once constituted 80 percent of the country’s timber resources and provided the bulk of what is sold on
the market as “Philippine mahogany.” Although best used for fine furniture these woods have also been used for
railroad ties, utility poles, bridges and wharfs, pulp, paper, and plywood.
