Comparison of litter production between natural and reforested mangrove areas in Central Philippines
2018
Overview
Litter production in natural and reforested mangrove areas was measured for a one-year cycle, from July 2105 to June 2016, in three sites: Bais (Negros Oriental), Alcantara (Cebu Province), and Pangangan Island (Bohol Province). In Bais, total litter production was higher in natural mangrove forests with mean of 8.38 g m-2 day-1 (n = 12, SD = 3.75) than in reforested mangrove forests with mean of 3.45 g m-2 day-1 (n = 12, SD = 1.92). There was no significant correlation between monthly litter production and monthly rainfall (Pearson's r = 0.195; p = 0.544, n = 12). Based on quarterly data, leaf fall production was higher in natural mangrove forests than in reforested mangrove areas. Among the three sites, leaf fall production was higher in natural forest in Alcantara with mean of 7.43 g m-2 day-1 (n = 20, SD= 4.33) followed by Pangangan Island 7.06 g m-2 day-1 (n = 24, SD= 3.98) and Bais with the value of of 6.04 g m-2 day-1 (n = 24, SD = 1.89) whereas in reforested mangrove forests, the leaf fall production was observed to be higher in Pangangan Island with the value of 6.52 g m-2 day-1 (n = 24, SD = 2.78), followed by Alcantara with the value of 6.22 g m-2 day-1 (n = 20, SD = 3.29) and Bais with the value of 2.69 g m-2 day-1 (n = 32, SD =1.78). For the litter components, leaves were the main components, followed by fruits, twigs, flowers, and miscellaneous. This study showed that the natural mangrove forest has high production values of litter compared to the reforested mangrove area.
