Geofe O. Cadiz, Jane G. Cawson, Thomas J. Duff, Trent D. Penman, Alan York & Claire Farrell Abstract Knowing the abundance of different plant species provides insights into the properties of vegetation communities, such as flammability. Therefore, a fundamental goal in ecology is identifying environmental conditions affecting the abundance of plant species across landscapes. Water and light are important environmental moderators of plant...

By J.E. Gumalal, A.P. Vilbar, F.G. Bernardez ABSTRACT The 21st-century learning integrates Information and Communication Technology (ICT) that aims to create a borderless education by extending learning outside the realms of a physical classroom.
