Abstract

LINDO, JULIETA A. University of the Philippines at Los Banos. July 2004 Distribution of the Jade Vine (Strongylodon macrobotrys A. Gray) on the Southeastern Slope (Lucban Side) of Mt. Banahaw de Lucban, Quezon, Luzon Island, Philippines.

Adviser: Prof. Danielo B. Tolentino This study determined the distribution of Strongylodon macroborys from 775-974 m above sea level (a.s.1.) on the southeastern slope of Mt. Banahaw de Lucban, Quezon, Luzon Is., Philippines using the line transect technique and quadrat method Two transects along parallel trails from 775-974 m a.s.l. on the southeast phase of the mountain were considered in the study. Ten quadrats were established along each trail: Site la and 1 b at seven hundred seventy-five to seven hundred ninety-four meter above sea level (775-794 m a.s.1.), Site 2a and 2b at 795-814 m a.s.1., Site 3a and 3b at 815-834 m a.s.l., Site 4a and 4b at 835-854 m a.s.1., Site 5a and 5b at 855-874 m a.s.l., Site 6a and 6b at 875-894 m a.s.l., Site 7a and 7b at 895-914 m a.s.1., Site 8a and 8b at 915-934 m a.s.l., Site 9a and 9b at 935-954 m a.s.l., and Site 10a and 10b at 955-974 m a.s.l. A total of sixteen S. macrobotrys individuals were found in all sampling sites and were distributed from 775-974 m a.s.l. The vines were found growing on acidic soil with pH raging from 5.4-6.0. They were also growing on elevations where the temperature ranges from 19.67°C to 23.12"C. Strongylodon macrobotrys were found to be most abundant at 815-834 m a.s.l. and 875-894 m a.s.l. where the temperatures are 22.40°C and 20.67°C, respectively, pH at 5.8, nitrogen at 0 21-0.50!'o and 0.36-0.63%, respectively, phosphorus at 10-15ppm, and potassium contents at 0.6-1.0m1/100g. Tall trees like Ficus septica, Syzygium nitidum and Diplodiscus paniculatus were the most frequent trees at the sampling areas.
