Abstract

Coast is suitable waterbirds habitat, but land use change could negatively influence the waterbirds life. The northern coast of Situbondo Regency, East Java Province, showed variations in land use quality. This study aims to analyze interaction between coastal land use changes on waterbirds diversity and community structure in the coast. Waterbird density was recorded based on the point count along the transect 100 m2 in six stations, namely Kampung Blekok, Tanjung Pecinan, Dubibir, Cemara, Banyuglugur, and Baluran National Park as the reference site. Land use quality in coastal areas was determined by satellites imagery. Habitat preference was determined by neu index. The results showed Tanjung Pecinan and Kampung Blekok stations were favourable waterbirds habitat, dominated by agriculture and low industry areas. These stasions better supported waterbird life and closed characters to Baluran one, where was dominated by mangrove forest and agriculture. This reference site showed highest diversity (H’ 2.26) and evenness (E 0.75), while preference habitat showed lower diversity (H’ 1.39) and evenness (E 0.29). On the contrary, Banyuglugur showed an industrial area, we found a low density species. Baluran and Kampung Blekok were habitat of three IUCN red list species, such as Ciconia episcopus, Charadius javanicus, and Leptoptilos javanicus.

Abstract

Bedengan Campground (BPB) Selorejo, Malang Regency, offers beautiful landscapes and is a priority for rural development with a mission of conserving nature, culture, and local wisdom. Until now, there have been no tourist services other than camping, while the potential of local nature needs to be developed for diversification and productivity of services. This initiative aims to assist managers in enhancing their guiding skills and launching new nature-based educational tourism programs to enrich outdoor classes, utilizing local resources, specifically: a) river biodiversity exploration for water quality monitoring (River Adventure Tour) and b) agroforestry exploration for watershed conservation (Agroforestry Adventure Tour). The program was initiated by inviting 20 high school, junior high school, and elementary school students accompanied by biology teachers, curriculum coordinators, or counselors. The eco-tourism program took place in three phases in September, October, and November 2024, from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM WIB, with a half-day session for elementary school students. Leaflets were distributed in soft copy format prior to the tour. The managers underwent training in guiding skills. Subsequently, the BPB managers were involved in the implementation of the educational tour at three schools, starting as observers and eventually becoming guides. The results of the development and initiation of eduwisata show that the river exploration and agroforestry exploration tour packages can be carried out smoothly, with students showing great enthusiasm, satisfying all participants, and achieving the set recreational and learning targets. All teachers expressed appreciation and rated both eduwisata programs as highly engaging, relevant, with a clear mission, and enjoyable for enhancing students' knowledge and skills. Tour guides successfully improved their skills and tested this educational tourism program while continuously improving time management, governance, and organization.

Abstract

The study proposed identifying the changes in bacterial community and diversity and exploring the potential correlations among sediments parameters and benthic bacterial communities under different mangrove ecosystems rehabilitation statuses. There were three sites: 1. Banyuurip Mangrove Center (BMC) as a restoration site; 2. Pulau Lusi (PL) as a degraded site; and 3. Kampung Blekok (KB) as natural site. The physicochemical parameters and benthic bacteria from the mangrove sediment of the three locations were observed. The data were analyzed statistically to determine the sites' variation and the correlation between parameters. The results found that the physicochemical parameters among restoration sites varied. Soil organic matter (SOM) in natural and restoration sites was significantly higher than in degraded sites. Cation exchange capacity (CEC), calcium and potassium ions, and soil conductivity of the restoration site were considerably higher than the other sites. According to diversity indices and taxa richness, benthic bacteria in the restoration were the most diverse. Proteobacteria dominated in natural and restoration sites; meanwhile, Firmicutes dominated in degraded site. Sulfurovum aggregans was found abundant in natural and restoration sites; meanwhile, Mesobacillus subterraneus was the dominant species in the degraded site. Furthermore, the bacterial taxa richness was positively correlated with SOM and the bacterial diversity was correlated with CEC and conductivity.

Abstract

The integrity of the water quality in the ecosystem must be maintained to provide benefits for the environment and the living creatures within it. The Singosari and Karangploso Districts have many springs which are usually used by the local community for various needs. Water quality can be evaluated using several types of bioindicators, and phytoplankton is one of the reliable bioindicators. This research aims to evaluate the water quality in Suceng, Nyolo, Sumberawan, Umbulan Ngenep, Nagan, Biru, Belik, Suko, and Umbulan Springs in Singosari using phytoplankton as a bioindicator. The research was conducted from June to September 2024. The physical and chemical parameters observed in the water were air temperature, water temperature, conductivity, total suspended solids (TSS), nitrate, orthophosphate, dissolved oxygen (DO), and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). Determination of the phytoplankton community structure profile was carried out by calculating taxa richness/TR, IVI, H', dominance index/ID, %PTV, and TDI. The results showed that all physical and chemical quality parameters have met the Indonesian government’s Class II standards.  The phytoplankton H’ values range between 3.39 and 4.32, indicating the water is uncontaminated by toxic materials. However, based on %PTV, Belik Spring is considered heavily organic polluted water (%PTV 70), and Umbulan Ngenep is classified as moderately organic polluted water (39%). Based on TDI measurement, it can be concluded that Nyolo, Suceng, Sumberawan, Suko, and Umbulan Spring were considered as oligoeutrophic (TDI 12.0-25.0), while Nagan, Biru, Umbulan Ngenep, and Belik were classified as mesoeutrophic water (TDI 25.7-45.3). Therefore, it is essential to control the human activities around the springs in Karangploso and Singosari.

Graphical Abstract Highlight Research Highlights from this results research: Restoration is a method to restore degraded mangrove ecosystems The success of restoration is measured by improvements in ecosystem services such as water quality, mangrove diversity, phytoplankton community structure and diversity Phytoplankton as bioindicator of water quality Anthropogenic activities are the main factor causing degradation of mangrove ecosystems Abstract The mangrove ecosystems in Bawean Island are degraded due to anthropogenic activities and land conversion. Plantation has carried out periodic which was continued in several mangrove ecosystems. This study was conducted to evaluate the physicochemical water quality of several mangrove ecosystems in Bawean Island, and phytoplankton as bioindicators. The evaluation of mangroves in Bawean Island was carried out at 11 locations based on different naturalness and human activities surrounding. The physical and chemical parameters of water observed were air temperature, water temperature, pH, TSS, dissolved oxygen (DO), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), salinity, conductivity, nitrate, and orthophosphate. Community structure and plankton diversity measured include the Importance Value Index (IVI), Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H'), Simpson dominance index (Id), evenness index (E), trophic diatom index (TDI), and pollution tolerant value (% PTV). The physical parameters of water chemistry show that it meets the quality standards based on Indonesian Government Regulation No. 22 of 2021 except for nitrate and orthophosphate, but it is still under plankton tolerant. A total of 63 species from 7 phytoplankton classes were found based on the importance value index. Based on the TDI index, mangrove ecosystems Sawahmulya, Sidogedungbatu, Hijau Daun, Pamona, Pasir Putih, Sungai Rujing, Bangsal, Jherat Lanjheng, and Lebak were classified as eutrophic while Pulau Cina and Dekatagung were hyper-eutrophic. Based on %PTV, the Hijau Daun mangrove is the best mangrove ecosystem while other mangroves were classified as moderate and heavily level polluted.

Abstract

The riparian zone along the Tamiang River, Aceh Province, is an important habitat for the survival of the tuntong laut (Batagur borneoensis) which is already threatened with extinction. This study aims to evaluate the quality and role of the riparian zone as a habitat for B. borneoensis along the Tamiang River, which can then be used as a reference in conservation. Riparian habitat quality was assessed by calculating the Qualitat del Bosc de Ribera (QBR) index, which was determined based on the total riparian cover, cover structure, cover quality, and channel alteration. In addition, observations of water quality (salinity, turbidity, and dissolved oxygen (DO)) and the number of riparian vegetation species were also carried out. Monitoring was carried out at five stations: Iyu River, Kampung Baru, Batang Lawang, Pusong Kapal Dermaga, and Pusong Kapal. The results showed variations in water quality between locations with DO and turbidity levels exceeding the quality standards set by the government. The richness of the types of riparian vegetation found ranged from 0-8 species (seedlings), 2-7 species (saplings), and 1-4 species (poles). The quality of riparian habitats in all study locations experienced significant degradation, including the euhemerobic and polyhemerobic (Hemeroby) categories, Cultural assisted system and Semi-transformed system (Naturalness), and Extreme degradation to poor-fair quality (QBR). The presence of B. borneoensis in the research location can adapt to the poor quality of riparian habitat. However, the density decreases significantly at higher salinity.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the water quality profile of Genjong River based on physicochemical parameters of water and benthic macroinvertebrates as bioindicators. Sampling was carried out at four different location based on difference of human activity in surrounding. The sampling was done in triple repetition for each station. The activity of station 1 is ecotourism (as reference site or positive control in this study), Station 2 (livestock I), Station 3 (livestock II), and Station 4 (plantation). The water physicochemical parameters were measured including water and air temperature, water current velocity and discharge, conductivity, pH, DO, BOD, TSS, nitrate, and orthophosphate. The result from the identification and calculation of the benthic macroinvertebrates density was used to determine some diversity indices and biotic indices. The difference in the value of each water quality parameter was tested by One-way ANOVA. Based on the abiotic water quality profile, Genjong River water is included as the Class IV category based on Indonesia Government Regulation No. 22 of 2021 with a BOD value of 3.61 – 7.22 mg.L-1. Human activities along the Genjong River have a great impact on decreasing water quality as indicated by increasing of nitrate levels from 0.52 ± 0.07 mg.L-1 at Station 1 up to 0.85 ± 0.07 mg.L-1 at Station 4. Also, orthophosphate levels from 0.02 ± 0.01 mg.L-1 at Station 1 to 0.18 ± 0.02 mg.L-1 at Station 4. Meanwhile, based on benthic macroinvertebrates as bioindicators, Genjong River was classified as lightly (S1, H = 1.74) to moderately polluted (S4, H = 1.24) with toxic materials and slightly contaminated with organic matter (S4 with FBI value = 5.38). The decline in water quality was also shown by the decreasing ASPT value from 4.20 at Station 1 to 3.68 at Station 4.

Abstract

The water quality in Awang Bay, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, is considered to be polluted due to human activities. This research aims to evaluate the water quality in Teluk Awang based on the physicochemical properties of water and zooplankton as bioindicators. Sampling was conducted at three beach locations: Awang, Ujung Kelor, and Ekas. The physicochemical water quality parameters measured included water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), salinity, and transparency. Additionally, environmental factors were observed based on the naturalness and hemeroby index. The result of the identification and counting of the abundance of each zooplankton can then be used to analyze including taxa richness, total density, the diversity index of Shannon-Wiener (HSW), Margalef diversity index, Simpson diversity index, evenness index (E), and dominance index (C). The resulting research indicated that the physicochemical water qualities have met government quality standards for marine biota needs, except for the level of transparency at Ekas Station 3. Ekas Beach has the highest level of transparency, diversity, taxa richness, and total abundance of zooplankton, indicating the best water quality. Ujung Kelor Beach, which has the highest level of naturalness and the highest DO concentration, has moderate zooplankton diversity, indicating that the water quality is in the medium category. Meanwhile, Awang Beach, which had the highest human activity and the worst water quality, was characterized by low levels of transparency and DO, low diversity, taxa richness, and an abundance of zooplankton. Therefore, diversity, taxa richness, and abundance of zooplankton can be used as a bioindicator for changes in water quality.

Abstract

Ngesong Spring is a clean spring that is used by society as a spring of clean water and as a tourist attraction. The Ngesong spring has a ditch that flows to the society settlement, where the water is used for agricultural and plantation irrigation. The utilization of the Ngesong Spring as a tourist attraction and its ditch through agriculture, settlements, and society settlements has great potential to cause pollution and degradation of water quality, so it is necessary to evaluate water quality. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the quality of this water, one of which is the use of the macrozoobenthic community structure as a bioindicator. The research was conducted in four locations, namely, a water spring and the channels that will be used for agriculture, plantations, and settlement activities, in September and October 2022. The variables observed in this study included the physicochemical quality of the water, namely, the water temperature, conductivity, power of hydrogen (pH), dissolved oxygen (DO), biological oxygen demand (BOD), and total suspended solids (TSS), as well as the community structure and macrozoobenthos diversity. The results of this study indicate that 26 macrozoobenthic families belong to 12 orders, for a total of 968 individuals. Water springs had the highest diversity and evenness index values, with H = 2.27 and E = 0.54. The analysis of macrozoobenthic family relationships as an indicator of water quality using the family biotic index (FBI) and average score per taxon (ASPT) showed that the watershed site has very clean water and no organic pollution. At watersheds with good water quality, the families Perlidae, Nemouridae, Limnephilidae, Viviparidae, Chironomidae, and Euphaeidae were found. Moreover, In this study, the locations that have highly organically polluted waters are ditches that have agricultural activities and settlement activities.

Abstract

Phytoplankton are primary biotic components of aquatic ecosystems that are highly sensitive to environmental changes and are therefore widely used as biological indicators of water quality. However, information on phytoplankton community structure in waterfall ecosystems remains limited, particularly in tropical regions. This study aimed to analyze the phytoplankton community structure in waterfall ecosystems in Jabung district as a basis for assessing water quality. Sampling was conducted at four waterfall sites, namely Siuk, Tarzan, Toris, and Jahe, with three replicates at each location. Phytoplankton samples were collected by filtering 3 liters of water using a plankton net with a mesh size of 40 µm, then preserved with 4% formalin (10 drops) and CuSO₄ (5 drops). Identification and enumeration of phytoplankton were performed using 1 mL of sample placed in a Sedgewick–Rafter Counting Chamber and observed under a binocular microscope (100× magnification) across 1,000 fields of view. The collected data were used to calculate abundance, taxonomic richness, community composition, the Shannon–Wiener diversity index (H’), evenness index (E), and dominance index (D). The results showed that phytoplankton taxa were present in all observed waterfall ecosystems, consisting of Bacillariophyceae (21 genera), Chlorophyceae (9 genera), Cyanophyceae (5 genera), Zygnematophyceae (9 genera), and Trebouxiophyceae (1 genus). The highest diversity index was recorded at Jahe Waterfall (H’ = 4.50), while the lowest was found at Siuk Waterfall (H’ = 4.17). The highest evenness index occurred at Siuk Waterfall (E = 0.8773), with a dominance index value of 0.075. Overall, all sites exhibited high diversity (H’ > 3) and very low dominance, indicating that phytoplankton communities were stable and well balanced across all investigated waterfall ecosystems.  Keywords: Water Quality, Phytoplankton, Community, Waterfalls, Diversity
