Abstract

Long-term use of chemical fertilizers damages soil properties. Efforts to restore soil fertility by using liquid organic fertilizer are needed. Organic fertilizers from waste provide nutrition for plants while reducing environmental pollution. This study aims to analyze the effect of applying liquid organic fertilizer from banana peels, liquid organic fertilizer from egg shells, and the effect of the combination of liquid organic fertilizers. Two Way Anova test results with sig. a value <0.05 indicates that the POC of banana peel increased plant height, number of leaves, fresh weight and dry weight of green spinach. Eggshell POC increased wet weight and dry weight, while the combination of the two POC increased plant height and number of leaves, wet weight and dry weight of green spinach plants. This shows that the application of banana peel liquid organic fertilizer is more influential than the application of egg shell organic fertilizer.

Abstract

Gili Trawangan is one of the popular marine tourism destinations and conservation areas in the West Nusa Tenggara Province. Increased human activity in the Gili Trawangan is associated with increased pressure on aquatic ecosystems. Human activity pressure comes from tourism activities and negative impacts due to various community activities around the waters can reduce water quality. Changes to water quality can be seen from the abundance and composition of phytoplankton. This is because phytoplankton plays an important role in a water body, namely as a primary producer in the food chain and has the ability to respond to the changes of the environment factors. This rearch was conducted to determine the abundance and composition of phytoplankton community structure in Gili Trawangan, North Lombok. Seawater samples were taken using a 20 µm plankton net by filtering 100 L of water. The filtered water samples were then preserved using formalin in 4% concentration. Data were analyzed by calculating the abundance of individuals, diversity (H'), uniformity (E), and dominance (D). The results showed that the average abundance of phytoplankton species was 1026.296 Ind/L and 22 genera of phytoplankton were identified. Species diiversity index (H'=2.58) is classified as medium. Species uniformity index (E=0.88) and species dominance index (C=0.10). Based on the results of this research it can be concluded that the waters of Gili Trawangan North Lombok are classified as oligotrophic waters.

Abstract

Mangrove ecosystems are highly dependent on surrounding water quality, which can be effectively assessed using biological indicators such as phytoplankton communities. This study aimed to analyze the water quality of the Bagek Kembar Mangrove Essential Ecosystem, West Lombok, based on phytoplankton community. The research employed a descriptive exploratory design with purposive sampling at three mangrove ecosystem types: pond area, rehabilitated mangrove, and natural mangrove. Phytoplankton samples were collected using a plankton net and analyzed for abundance, species diversity, evenness, and dominance. Physical and chemical parameters including temperature, pH, and salinity were also  study fully identified 67 species of phytoplankton with a total abundance of 2,542.5 ind/L. Merismopedia elegans was a dominant species, particularly in the pond area. Diversity indices ranged from low to moderate, evenness valuew indicated relatively stable communities, and dominance indexs showed no species dominance. These results indicated that the waters of the Bagek Kembar mangrove ecosystem are generally in good condition with mild ecological pressure influenced by anthropogenic activities. This study provides baseline ecological data to support sustainable management and conservation strategies for mangrove essential ecosystems of Bagek kembar, West Lombok.

Abstract

Seagrass ecosystems play a crucial role in marine environments, particularly in supporting coastal biodiversity and maintaining ecological balance. The coastal waters of Pandanan Beach are ecologically vital but potentially exposed to anthropogenic pressures such as boat mooring and local foraging ("madak") activities. This study aimed to identify the species composition and analyze the community structure, including density, diversity, dominance, and coverage of seagrass in coastal waters at Pandanan Beach. Data collection were conducted using a quadrate transect method across three distinct transects. The results showed that a total of 7 seagrass species were identified, namely Cymodocea rotundata, C. serrulata, Enhalus acoroides, Halodule pinifolia, Halophila decipiens, Syringodium isoetifolium, and Thalassia hemprichii. The overall community structure of the seagrass was relatively stable and healthy, characterized by a mean total density of 163 ind/m² and an average canopy coverage of 52.28%. The species diversity index (H' = 1.65) fell into moderate category, supported by a low dominance index (D = 0.22), indicating an even distribution of species across the habitat. These findings suggest that despite ongoing human activities, the seagrass ecosystem in the coastal waters at Pandanan Beach remains in a resilient and healthy condition.

Abstract

Phytoplankton play a crucial role as a primary producer in aquatic ecosystems and can be used as a bioindicator to assess water quality. Aquaculture activities in coastal areas have the potential to alter the phytoplankton community structure through changes in the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of the aquatic environment. This study aimed to analyze the composition, abundance, community structure, and role of phytoplankton as a bioindicator of water quality in Kuwang Wae Coastal Waters, East Lombok Regency. A descriptive-exploratory method with purposive sampling was employed at three observation stations, namely the pond outlet, transition zone, and reference area. The observed parameters included species composition, abundance, diversity index, evenness index, dominance index, importance value, and water quality parameters. The reserch identified 72 species of phytoplankton belonging to five divisions: Chrysophyta, Dinophyta, Cyanophyta, Chlorophyta, and Euglenophyta. The species with the highest importance values were Gonyaulax spinifera, Bacteriastrum biconicum, Melosira sp., Chaetoceros brevis, and Bacteriastrum elongatum.  The average phytoplankton abundance was 1,614 ind/L, with variations among observation stations. The species diversity index ranged from 2.318 to 2.813, the species evenness index from 0.686 to 0.709, and the species dominance index from 0.130 to 0.174. Water quality of  Kuwang Wae Beach is still in relatively good, stable condition, and has not experienced significant ecological pressures. The results of this study are expected to provide baseline information for sustainable management, conservation, and monitoring of coastal water quality.
