Abstract

Bryophytes are nonvascular plants that comprise mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. The current study evaluates the diversity and ecological state of bryophytes in Senator Ninoy Aquino, Sultan Kudarat. Three sampling sites were established based on the vegetation type of the area. Assessment of the bryophytes was done through opportunistic sampling. A total of twenty-one (21) species of bryophytes were identified, seven (7) mosses and twelve (12) liverworts belonging to twelve (12) genera and seventeen (17) families in the entire sampling area. Decayed logs, three trunks, wet rocks, rocks, and moist soil were observed as microhabitats. A high diversity index of 2.4959 with evenness of 0.8198 was observed in site 2. Site 2 is located at the highest elevation (664.72 m asl) recorded during the sampling. Bryophytes diversity increased with altitude. Although the site 1 elevation (610.78 m asl) is recorded as the lowest. The area is near the river, which can be the reason for the findings. Another factor that affects diversity is the disturbance level. Where the increasing diversity pattern of bryophytes was associated with an increasing level of disturbance. One (1) species (Breutelia arundinifolia [Dudy] Fleish) was found endangered, while others are widespread based on IUCN status.
