Abstract

Mangrove ecosystems play a crucial role in maintaining coastal environmental stability and supporting biodiversity in tropical regions. This study aims to analyze the diversity, structure, and dominance of mangrove vegetation in Jorong District, Tanah Laut Regency, South Kalimantan, as a scientific basis for sustainable mangrove management. The research was conducted in September 2025 in the mangrove forests of Muara Asam-Asam and Swarangan Villages using a purposive sampling method combined with transect plots. Vegetation data were collected at three growth levels, namely seedlings, saplings, and trees, through nested plots of different sizes. Vegetation analysis included species density, relative density, frequency, relative frequency, Important Value Index (IVI), and species diversity using the Shannon-Wiener index. The results showed that three mangrove species were identified, namely Avicennia marina, Rhizophora apiculata, and Sonneratia alba. Avicennia marina was the most dominant species across all forest density categories, as indicated by its high IVI values. The Shannon-Wiener diversity index revealed moderate diversity in high-density mangrove forests (H’ = 1.09) and lower diversity in medium (H’ = 0.66) and low-density forests (H’ = 0.63). These variations are influenced by habitat conditions and anthropogenic pressures such as land conversion and logging activities. Overall, the mangrove ecosystem in Jorong District still exhibits sufficient ecological diversity but requires sustainable management to prevent further degradation and ensure long-term ecosystem stability.

Abstract

Indonesia has the largest mangrove area in the world with high biodiversity potential, including in Muara Kintap Village, Tanah Laut Regency. Mangroves function not only ecologically but also hold medical potential as raw materials for biopharmaceuticals due to their bioactive compound content. This research aims to identify and document mangrove species with potential as herbal medicine ingredients in the mangrove ecosystem of Muara Kintap Village. The study was conducted in September 2025 using purposive observation and the cruising method for primary data collection, supplemented by a systematic literature review for secondary data. The results identified five major species with medicinal potential: Avicennia marina, Sonneratia alba, Avicennia officinalis, Rhizophora apiculata, and Nypa fruticans. The leaves are the most dominant organ with pharmacological potential across all identified species. Secondary metabolite compounds found include flavonoids, tannins, saponins, steroids, and terpenoids, which function as antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer agents. This documentation is expected to serve as a foundation for developing herbal-based health products while supporting mangrove conservation efforts in coastal areas.
