The biggest threats to plant species degradation must be the cutting of trees, conversion into croplands, and natural circumstances. Degradation of land cover has negatively affected plant diversity before the continue reading : Diversity and Aboveground Carbon Stocks of Trees and Understorey Plant Species in Matalom, Leyte, Philippines

Mangrove forests sequester substantial amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide, store carbon in their biomass, and have the highest carbon pool of any forest. The Philippines is one of the mangrove-rich continue reading : Species Diversity and Carbon Stock of Mangrove in Guiuan, Eastern Samar, Philippines

Leyte Sab-A Basin peatland (LSBP) is the second largest peatland in the Philippines and comprises 3,088 ha (31 km2). The study estimated the C storage and carbon sequestration capacity of continue reading : Carbon Storage of Leyte Sab-A Basin Peatland (LSBP), Philippines

Mangroves are commonly found along sheltered coastlines in the tropics and sub-tropics, fulfilling essential socio-economic and environmental functions. However, because of Super Typhoon Haiyan in 2013, the studied mangrove stand continue reading : Aboveground carbon storage and species diversity of mangrove stand in Leyte Island, Philippines

Ultisols are old soils, inferior and acidic. However, tropical secondary forests (SF) under this soil are transformed into grasslands (GL) and forest plantations (FP) which could profoundly affect the carbon continue reading : Changes in Carbon and Nutrient Stocks of Secondary Forest Transformations Under Ultisol in Leyte Island, Philippines

Tanauan Leyte, as one of the least affected locations following Typhoon HAIYAN’s devastation, has been provided opportunities for various rehabilitation projects to aid in recovery and to prioritize disaster risk continue reading : Soil Exploration in Selected Evacuation Center
