Video documentation of the UPLB Museum of Natural History Biodiversity Seminar on "Re-exploring the Bryophyte Florae of Luzon and Palawan Islands in the Philippines" by Eugene Lorence R. Logatoc of the UPLB Museum of Natural History on 23 June 2021.

SUMMARY OF TALK

The islands of Luzon and Palawan are perhaps the most bryologically-explored areas in the Philippine Archipelago. However, with the rate of habitat degradation and deforestation, the need to revisit and assess the current status of bryophyte diversity in the islands has become apparent. In this talk, I will showcase our activities and fieldworks in the last five (5) years as well as provide insights of our findings in three (3) study sites namely the Luzon Cordillera Central (Cordillera Administrative Region), Mt. Labo (Bicol Region), and Mt. Mantalingahan (Palawan Island).
