Abstract

Distribution is a spacing pattern of individuals in a population relative to one another. There are various individuals’ distribution patterns. They are commonly known as uniform, random, and clumped distribution patterns. The present research was designed as an ex post facto research which aimed to observe an existing phenomenon and recount past events to investigate factors that contributed to the occurrences. This research was conducted in an area of 7.500 m2which was dug into 50 plots of 20x20m. Random plotting method was employed to collect the data. The number of individual targeted plants which appeared in the observation plots were calculated. Each of the plants’ species was identified. The distribution patterns and the growth strategies of the individuals were determined based on the Morisita Index values. The results indicated that Laguna Lake areas were mostly surrounded by durian (Durio zibethinus L), nutmeg (Myristica fragrans Hout), breadfruit (Artocarpus communis L), and mango (Mangifera indica L.). The distribution patterns of the plants consisted of random distribution pattern (durian (Durio zibethinus L.), breadfruit (Artocarpus communis L.), and mango (Mangifera indica L.)) and clumped distribution pattern (nutmegor Myristica fragrans Hout.). In relation to plant growth strategies, the K-theory was introduced (growth strategy). Environmental factors including the soil pH, light intensity, water current, and mineral content also influenced the distribution patterns and growth strategies of the targeted plants.
