Abstract

The genus Dillenia (Dilleniaceae) comprises approximately 100 species distributed across South Asia, Southeast Asia, and northern Australia. In Indonesia, research on Dillenia remains limited, particularly regarding updated data on its diversity and distribution. This research aims to know the research gap of the genus Dillenia globally and inventory Dillenia collection from Sulawesi at Herbarium Bogoriense (BO) and Bogor Botanical Garden (BBG). This study first conducted a bibliometric analysis using data from the Scopus database, followed by a descriptive approach through morphological observation of herbarium specimens from Sulawesi deposited in the BO and living collections in the BBG. The bibliometric analysis revealed five major research clusters in Dillenia studies: antibacterial activity and phytochemistry; ethnobotany and traditional uses; pharmacology and cytotoxicity; phytochemical analysis and plant extracts; and compound isolation and purification. Research on taxonomy, ecology, and conservation of Dillenia remains underexplored and offers substantial opportunities for further investigation. The inventory confirmed the presence of four endemic species in Sulawesi—D. serrata, D. ochreata, D. celebica, and D. talaudensis—and D. pentagyna, which is more broadly distributed. However, potential misidentification was observed in some specimens, notably the occurrence of D. ptempoda in the BBG collection, a species not listed in previous taxonomic revisions.

Abstract

Mangrove ecosystems are currently facing severe threats due to the accumulation of marine debris, particularly plastic waste. This study aims to quantify the types and weights of marine debris in the mangrove ecosystem of Kalangan Hamlet, Lampung, Indonesia, and analyze their impact on various mangrove species. Data collection was conducted in three zones with different levels of human activity: low, medium, and high. Data on the types and weight of debris were collected using the transect plot method. Correspondence analysis was used to examine the relationship between debris types and the intensity of human activity. The results showed that plastic waste was the most dominant type in terms of both quantity and weight, particularly in areas with moderate to high levels of activity. Over 90% of the waste composition consisted of plastic, weighing over 9,000 g at Stations 2 and 3. Mangrove species of the genus Rhizophora were the most affected, likely due to their complex root structure, which effectively traps waste. Other types of waste, such as fabric, rubber, and glass, were also found in significant quantities and correlated with tourism and community activities. Waste accumulation, particularly plastic, not only alters habitat structure but also hinders mangrove regeneration, which could ultimately reduce ecosystem function and biodiversity. Waste management should align with the area's activity level, with high-activity zones requiring more intensive clean-ups, proper facilities, and regulation enforcement. Community engagement and awareness are crucial in reducing the impacts of marine debris on mangroves. Its temporal scope and sampling frequency limit this study; broader and longer-term research is recommended.
