Abstract
Riparian forests are forests which occur adjacent to streams, lakes and other surface waters.
Through the interaction of their soils, hydrology, and biotic communities, riparian forests protect and
improve water quality, provide habitat for plants and animals, support aquatic communities, and provide
many benefits to humans (Klapproth & Johnson 2009). A total of 32 species of plants belonging to 15
families were listed and identified along the riparian areas of Mandulog and Iligan City rivers.
