Abstract

The increasing demand for effective and natural anti-inflammatory agents prompts an investigation into the properties of Sonneratia caseolaris (L.) Engl., a plant traditionally used in medicine. This study aimed to explore the ability of S. caseolaris leaves extract to inhibit inflammation and accelerate wound healing. S. caseolaris leaves were collected from Tanjung Api-Api area, Banyuasin, South Sumatra. The method involved carrageenan induction in rat paws as an inflammatory model. The results showed that the most effective dose was found in the group with a dose of 150 mg/kg BW measured using a digital caliper and plethysmometer. The qualitative phytochemical test contain alkaloids, steroids, flavonoids, and phenols. The results GC-MS analysis were thought to contain aldehydes, glucosinolates, coumarins, esters, terpenoids, alcohols, lipids, tocopherols, and steroids. Due to their diverse range of mechanisms of action, coumarins show significant promise in mitigating inflammation and hold potential for treating inflammatory conditions. This study provides new insights related to the potential of S. caseolaris as a source of natural anti-inflammatory agents, supporting public comprehension regarding the utilization of traditional herbal remedies.

Abstract

Maspari Island is the only small outermost island located in the southern part of Bangka Strait, included in the coastal area of Ogan Komering Ilir Regency, South Sumatra. The island harbors a mangrove ecosystem that is believed to play a significant role in climate change mitigation through carbon storage. This study aims to identify mangrove species and measure carbon stock estimates in upper-stand biomass, lower-stand/root biomass, and sediment. Identification of mangrove species using a vegetation analysis approach. Transect plots measuring 10 m × 10 m were parallel to the coastline at 6 observation station points. The diameter of vegetation at the tree and sapling levels was measured at a height of 1.3 m from the ground surface. Carbon stock estimates were calculated using allometric equations and sediment carbon analysis methods. The results identified seven mangrove species: Avicennia marina, Bruguiera sexangula, Ceriops tagal, Excoecaria agallocha, Rhizophora apiculata, Rhizophora stylosa, and Sonneratia alba. Estimated carbon stocks of mangrove stands at all stations reached 3,443.42 tC/ha, with an average of 573.90 tC/ha, while carbon stocks in roots amounted to 862.96 tC/ha, with an average of 143.83 tC/ha. The total estimated carbon stock of mangrove sediment at all stations was 240.71 tC/ha, with an average of 40.12 MgC/ha. Sonneratia alba provided the highest carbon absorption, reaching 3,059 tC/ha for the upper stand and 697.80 tC/ha for the lower stand. Considering the contribution of the carbon storage potential in Maspari Island, this study suggests extending the investigation of the mangrove carbon fixation in other small islands in Indonesia, especially for the S. alba species.   Keywords: carbon stock, mangrove, Maspari Island, sediment, carbon stock, Sonneratia alba
