* Plant Preservation as tourist Center- The pleasant climate and beautiful scenery of

plants in landforms have led to the development as center of tourist attraction like

the Banawe Rice terraces and chocolate hill station of Bohol.

*Effect on climate- Mountainous areas have lower temperature. Some plants grow

healthy in lower temperature and other plants can survive in high temperature.

The higher part of the plateau even in tropical and sub-tropical regions

have cool climate. Many vegetables, fruits root-crops and other plants grow
