Diversity Index and Richness of Tree Species in Mindoro State University (Minsu) Bongabong Campus, Oriental Mindoro, Philippines
Abstract
The Mindoro State University Bongabong Campus serves as a crucial ecological and educational resource, particularly in terms of vascular tree species. A recent survey conducted in this area identified a remarkable total of 728 taxa of vascular trees, highlighting the rich diversity of flora present. The majority of these trees are classified as angiosperms, which are flowering plants that produce seeds encased within fruit. This classification encompasses not only trees but also extends to shrubs, herbs, vines, palms, grasses, and sedges, reflecting the ecological richness and biodiversity of the campus. As a living laboratory, the Bongabong Campus plays an essential role in fostering research and education regarding these vital ecosystems, contributing to the understanding and conservation of plant species in the region.
