| Abstract |
The effect of environmental factors on the growth of mangrove seedlings was determined. Four seedling species such as Sonneratia alba, Rhizophora mucronata, Rhizophora apiculata and Aegiceras corniculatum found in Kauswagan, Lanao del Norte were used in this study. Percent seedling growth was found to be highest in R. apiculata. Kawit Occidental was the most suitable area for growth and development of seedling. The effect of environmental factors on seedling growth was found to be species specific |
