| Abstract | Despite being important components of natural ecosystems, mosses are often not included in forest inventories,assessment, and monitoring particularly in the Philippine setting. In view of this, we aimed to document andrevisit the moss flora of Mt. Makiling Forest Reserve which is regarded as one of the most biologically exploredareas in the country. A collection of mosses from the Molawin-Dampalit Subwatershed of the Mt. Makiling ForestReserve yielded a total of 27 species, one (1) subspecies, and one (1) variety in 22 genera and 10 families. Theserepresent 12.16% of the species, 22% of the genera, and 31.25% of the families reported for the mountain. Themost represented families are Neckeraceae (5 species), Calymperaceae, Pylaisiadelphaceae (3 species each).Syrrhopodon aristifolius Mitt. is hereby reported as new record for Luzon Island. With this, the importance andneed for continued studies on the mosses is highlighted especially in underexplored portions of Mt. Makilingand should be ultimately geared towards a revised checklist of the mosses for the mountain. |
