Abstract

This study aimed to measure the suitability of mangrove ecosystems in Perupuk village, Batubara district as an ecotourism area. Several ecological parameters were used as a basis for considering suitability including mangrove type, thickness, and density. In addition, biota diversity and tidal height were also observed. Mangrove observations were carried out using the 10 x 10 metre quadratic transect method as many as 20 pieces were let on the shoreline area toward, land. The results showed that this area was only overgrown with Avicennia marina with a thickness of 203.7 meters, and a density of 2100 Ind/ha. There are 31 species of biota associated with mangrove ecosystems consisting of 3 bivalve species, 1 gastropod, 6 fish, 16 birds, 2 crustaceans, 2 arthropods, and 1 mammal. The results of the ecotourism suitability index analysis show that this area is very suitable for mangrove ecotourism sites with a suitability value of 73.75%

Abstract

Mangrove forests serve as a natural barrier against storm surges, tsunamis and coastal erosion. Their complex root systems dissipate wave energy, protecting coastal areas from the effects of severe weather.This article serves to evaluate the tourism potential of the Lubuk Kertang mangrove area, highlight its ecological and community significance, identify challenges, and propose sustainable management strategies to enhance ecotourism opportunities. Mangrove observation using the transectional square methodology was used to assess mangrove density. It involves establishing transect squares consisting of 20 units, each measuring 10 x 10 meters, starting from the coastal area and extending inland. The study found that the mangrove area consisted mainly of Avicennia marina species, with a density of 1860 individuals per hectare (18.6 individuals per 100 m²). The tourism suitability index results for the Lubuk Kertang mangrove forest area were very high at 87.5%, categorizing it as “very suitable” for ecotourism development. This indicates a strong potential to attract tourists and promote sustainable tourism practices in the region

Abstract

The production of high quality seedlings is dependent on soil as planting media. Application of biochar derived from oil palm trunk onto oil palm seedling  has been scarcely studied, especially on ultisol planting media. This research investigated the effect of oil palm trunk biochar on vegetative growth and nutrient uptake of belowground and aboveground tissues of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq) in ultisol pre-nursery planting media. Three types of oil palm trunk biochar derived from top, middle, and bottom section were used in this research. The application rates were 1, 2, 3 and, 4 % (w/w) during 12 weeks in  a green house. This experiment used a non factorial randomized complete block design with three replications. The addition of biochars derived oil palm trunk (OPT) amendment significantly increased stem diameter, plant height, root biomass, shoot biomass. The highest respon rasio (RRs) for root and shoot biomass was 0.40, and 0.55, respectively, recorded at 2% application rates. The highest increase of N, P, and K uptake for belowground and aboveground tissues were resulted from B3 (3 % biochar top section), B2 (2 % biochar top section), and B2 (2 % biochar top section) treatments, respectively. Overall, the addition of biochar derived top section OPT at 2 % (w/w) could enhance stem diameter, RRs plant biomass, N, P, K uptake of belowground and aboveground tissues. The addition of biochar OPT at 2 % (w/w) should be recommendation in order to used as rate of biochar OPT for ultisols ammendment in oil palm pre-nursery
