Action note: In: Summary: ABSTRACT: Trees play a vital role in the ecosystem and are natural sequesters of carbon with their body mass is made up of 45% carbon. The study was conducted to determine the species present and to compute for the carbon stock of trees in the riverbanks of Marikina City. The Marikina River is a portion of the Pasig River with headwaters located in the Sierra Madre Mountains in Rodriguez, Rizal. From Rodriguez, the river flows through San Mateo, Rizal to its namesake Marikina City. The riverbanks of Marikina City are one of the few places left in Metro Manila that contains a large number of tress giving it a great potential in storing carbon. Five different sites of the riverbanks were sampled by identiying the species of tree found and measuring its diameter at breast height (dbh). The tree biomass was computed using Basuki's equation with the result to be used in computing for the tree carbon stock. A default value of 56% for the carbon stored in trees was used. The carbon stock was obtained by multiplying the tree biomass density to 0.45. The species of trees were verfied by experts from the Bureau of Plant Industry and National Museum. A dichotomous key for identification of species was constructed by using the morphological characterisitcs of the trees as basis. A total of 23 species of trees from 16 different families were found in the riverbanks. The average carbon stock of the riverbanks is 32.65 MgC ha-1 with 15 families included in the carbon stock computation following the parameters of the study. The riverbanks of Markina City is home to different species of trees with significant amounts of carbon stored and should therefore be conserved and protected from human activites. Other editions:
