INTRODUCTION
Inventory of vascular Plants and vertebrate animals will help the individual get
familiar of the species. Vascular Plants are known to be essentially land Plants. A few of
the higher plants have become adapted to a water habitat. Almost all vascular plants have
roots, stems and leaves. Vertebrates animals belongs to any of the 5 species well-known
Edlimar Spring Resort was chosen as the locale of the study located at the
and lush vegetation with a spectacular panoramic view of a rainforest and entices the
The study was conducted to inventory the vascular plants and vertebrate animals
Statement of Objectives
The study was conducted to determine the vascular plants and vertebrate animals
a. list down all vascular plants and animals present in the area and
The study is significant to the public people and to the manager in knowing the
natural goodness of the said resort. This information is vital in assessing what favorable
This study is limited only on the vascular plants and vertebrate animals found in
Specifically, vascular plants that is present in the plot, using the plant plot
sampling. This includes the name of the species and the number of individuals in each
species. Same with the vertebrate animals it includes the total number of the species
diversity. Community refers to the population of different species that live together and
several species of organisms at different tropic levels that eventually achieve a certain
balance. The apparent harmony is the result of a community evaluation because all
members of the community benefit if the whole system were evolving in the direction of
to find specific combinations of species that fit together well. And needed, biologist have
genus. Species is the basic unit in ecology and that a list must be reasonably completed to
be of value for the present purpose. (Macan, 1974). The study on quantitative

Vascular plants are essential part of an ecosystem. It plays the very important role
in an ecological balance of nature. It is the main energy producing organism that supplies
all the tropic level of the food pyramid. (Stiling, 2002). Vascular plants are source of food
features that are common to a certain taxa. On the other hand, animals also were
classified into several phyla which were also sub-divided into certain family according to

b. Discussion of results
Several species of vascular plants and vertebrate animals were found in the
study area. It shows the different species and varieties of plants present in it. Vertebrate
animals were found to be conserved and preserve in a cage but still it is in normal
The study have found out that there is the abundance of pteridophytes and
Inventory Remarks
