Abstract

Bio-ecology research is essential to support ecosystem conservation and management, such as that conducted in the coastal forest of Tabanio, South Kalimantan. This forest has high biodiversity and serves an important function in coastal ecosystems. However, published bio-ecology research is still small and fragmentary. This research aims to conduct a comprehensive literature review on the extent of bio-ecology recording of the Tabanio coastal forest. The method used was the PRISMA model to review relevant literature. The results found 73 documents with the keyword <bio-ekologi “hutan pantai” “Tabanio” Kalimantan Selatan> and 22 documents with the keyword <bio-ecology of "coastal forest" "Tabanio" south Kalimantan> Google Scholar.  One of them was also indexed in Scopus. After reviewing, six documents were found that were published about bio-ecology. In contrast, most of them were published in the form of derivative studies, namely the development of educational tools based on local potential. Others are stored in the campus repository. Most studies examined flora biodiversity and population structure; some were fauna studies. However, although there are various related studies, more in-depth studies on ecosystem dynamics and species interactions are still needed. This further research is needed to provide the basis for more effective and sustainable conservation and ecosystem management efforts in Tabanio's coastal forests.

Abstract

Forest degradation continues to occur due to the expansion of agricultural land which disrupts its fauna. One of the fauna that faces threats is earthworms, earthworms play an important role as decomposers. This study aims to address the dearth of information on the diversity and dominance of earthworms and to compare their presence in two habitats, agricultural areas, and primary forests in the Gunung Selatan Forest area, Tarakan, and their relationship to abiotic factors. Sampling was conducted on agricultural land and primary forest using hand sorting techniques on plots measuring 30x30 cm, totaling six plots. The results showed that there were two types of earthworms, namely Lumbricus terrestris and Lumbricus rubellus. Researchers found 5 individuals of Lumbricus terrestris and 2 individuals of Lumbricus rubellus on agricultural land, 11 individuals of Lumbricus terrestris, and 7 individuals of Lumbricus rubellus in primary forest. Each worm sample's length and body researchersight varied depending on its location. The study found differences in the number and shape of earthworms living in agricultural land and primary forest habitats in the Gunung Selatan Forest area of Tarakan. More earthworms researchers found in primary forest habitats than in agricultural land. The study's results prove a relationship between abiotic factors and the life of earthworms, based on the measurement of parameters; the higher the temperature, air humidity, light intensity, and soil pH, the fewer worm species are obtained. Researchers anticipate these findings to offer valuable insights for managing and conserving ecosystems.
