Abstract

Mangroves have an important role in mitigation and a significant contribution to the wealth of macrofauna. The success of mangrove management has significantly affected the diversity of macrofauna which are associated biota. The research objectives were to investigate the composition of mangroves and mollusc communities, the ecological conditions of the waters, and evidence of mangrove ecosystem services in mitigation. The research data sources are faunal, ecological, and social data. The research method uses purposive sampling and data analysis using descriptive statistics. The results showed that 7 mangrove species were found in the Cemare mangrove area. Avicennia marina, Bruguiera gymnorriza, Ceriops tagal, Rhizophora apiculata, Rhizophora mucronata, Rhizophora stylosa, and Sonnetaria alba. The dominant mangroves were Rhizopora stylosa (201 ind/Ha) and Rhizopora apiculata (146 ind/Ha). Meanwhile, the highest abundance of mollusc species was obtained by Cerithidea cingulate (38.94%) and Nerita undata (29.20%) from the gastropod class, while from the Bivalvia class, Anadara grandis (36.07%) and Anadara granosa (19.67%) were found). The condition of the aquatic environment at the research site is still within the tolerance range required for the growth and development of mollusk species. Furthermore, the majority of respondents know or are aware that mangroves have an ecological function (habitat/habitat for animals), an economic function (a livelihood location), a physical mitigation function (abrasion resistance), a non-physical mitigation function (reducing environmental heat) Good category. These results indicate that efforts need to be made to increase mangrove revegetation, given its significant benefits in mitigation.

Abstract

Administratively, the coastal area of Central Lombok Regency is included in the mangrove conservation program which is currently in the process of rehabilitation. Shellfish as one of the associated biota that live in the mangrove ecosystem. This study aims to analyze the diversity (H'), uniformity (E), dominance (D), and abundance (R) of associated biota in the mangrove ecosystem conservation area on the south coast of Central Lombok Regency. Data analysis consisted of determining sampling stations, processing mangrove vegetation data, processing bivalve data, and environmental parameters. The results showed that there were nine types of mangroves, 15 types of bivalves were found. The highest density of mangroves in Dondon was Avicennia marina (84.16%) and the highest relative frequency of mangrove species (66.67%). The lowest mangrove density in Gili Perigi was Rhizophora stylosa (3.1%) and the lowest relative species frequency (6.67%). Furthermore, the highest relative frequency in Tanjung Batutiang is Avicennia marina (30.00%) and the lowest is Avicennia lanata (3.33). While the highest relative frequency in Gili Perigi was Avicennia marina (50.00%) and the lowest was Rhizopora stylosa (6.67%). The highest value of the dominance index on the Dondon Coast was 0.84 and was classified as low, meaning that no species dominated. In conclusion, the Indonesian government has initiated many mangrove Rehabilitation programs through replanting, especially on Lombok Island. This study shows that members of the genus Avicennia marina have the potential to increase the growth and stability of mangrove ecosystems on the south coast of Central Lombok.

Abstract

Currently, people still choose traditional medicine as one of the options to maintain their health. This conventional medicine uses ingredients from wild plants taken from the forest or plants grown in the home yard. Although the forest provides various medicinal plants, many are currently cultivated in the yard for easy access when needed. This study aims to analyze medicinal plants in the home yard used by Battra in Pentek Village, Sadaniang District, Mempawah Regency. This study used a survey method by conducting interviews with all Battra in Pentek Village. We then analyzed plant species, habitus and parts of plants used, processing methods, usage methods, and state of concoction. The results showed that Battra in Pentek Village used 37 medicinal plants in their home yards, with the most widely used plant family being Zingiberaceae (5 species). The most frequently used plant habitus was herb (56.76%), and the most commonly used plant part was leaves (28.81%). The processing method used was boiling (37.14%), and the usage method was drinking (39%)—the form of concoction used as a mixture (70.27%).

Abstract

Red chili (Capsicum annum L.) is one of the important horticultural crops, yet its productivity is still relatively low. This study aims to determine the productivity of red chili improvement through the use of inorganic fertilizer and biofertilizer. The factorial randomized group design (RAK) experimental design with 2 factors and 3 replicates (10 plants for each replicate) was used in this research. Factor I consisted of four doses of inorganic fertilizer (K), namely: 200 kg/ha (k1), 300 kg/ha (k2), 400 kg/ha (k3), 500 kg/ha (k4). Factor II consists of four concentrations of biological fertilizer (H), namely: 10 ml/L (h1), 20 ml/L (h2), 30 ml/L (h3), 40 ml/L (h4). The results showed that there was no interaction effect between the use of inorganic fertilizer (NPK) and the concentration of biofertilizer (M-Bio) on fruit weight per plant (g/plant) and fruit yield per hectare (t/Ha). However, the single use of biofertilizer with a concentration of 20 ml/L significantly increased the productivity of fruit weight (555.75 g/plant or 14.81 t/Ha). Biofertilizers such as phosphate solubilizing microorganisms and nitrogen-fixing bacteria can increase the availability of macro and micro nutrients in the soil and the productivity of chili significantly. The use of biofertilizers has the benefit of reducing farmers' dependence on inorganic fertilizers. Therefore, the use of a combination of inorganic fertilizer and biofertilizer not only can be a good alternative to increase the productivity of red chili effectively and sustainably, but also to reduce the negative impact of using inorganic fertilizer on the environment.

Abstract

Sugar palm (Arenga pinnata) is one of the non-timber forest product that has many benefits and still had high economic demands, therefore it is necessary to be cultivated and due to the farmers still utilizing sugar palm stands that grow naturally. The cultivation of sugar palm is so difficult to be done because there was no efficient and effective technology that can break the dormancy problem yet. The objective of this research was to determine the effect of sanding and seeds submersion in various concentration of KNO3 to break the dormancy of sugar palm seeds. The experiment was performed in Greenhouse of Agriculture Faculty of Mataram University from June to September 2015. The experiment was conducted in 2x3 factorial experiments on Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with five replications. First factor was sanding (A):  A1 = without sanding dan A2 = sanding and second factor was submersion in various concentration of KNO3 (N): N1 = 0.4%, N2 = 0.5%, and N3 = 0.6%. Results of this study indicated that both treatments gave significant effect in breaking the dormancy of sugar palm seeds. Sanding and submersion in 0.5% KNO3 resulted in single significant effect on all parameters except embryonic axis. The interaction between both treatments only showed significant effect on rotten seeds.

Abstract

Chili (Capsicum annuum L.) exhibits a wide range of variations in terms of crown shape, fruit shape, fruit color, leaf color, leaf shape, and taste. While chili is commonly known as a food plant, it also serves as an attractive ornamental plant. Specifically, ornamental chili plants are desired to possess specific traits, such as compact growth, high fruit yield, and a variety of fruit colors within a single plant. This study aims to comprehensively describe the quantitative and qualitative superiority of the Nazla IPB variety in terms of its characteristics. The research was conducted in the Leuwikopo Darmaga experimental garden's greenhouse, located in Bogor, utilizing a randomized complete block design with four replications. The Nazla IPB variety, which is an open-pollinated (OP) cultivar, stands out due to its short plant height, ranging from 17.83 to 26.42 cm, making it highly suitable for ornamental purposes. Furthermore, the chili plants of the Nazla IPB variety possess a compact crown shape, enhancing their visual appeal, coupled with their short stature (ranging from 21.83 to 26.69 cm). The primary distinguishing features of the ornamental chili variety Nazla IPB include: 1) the color of the leaves, which transition from green (Green 137 C) to purple (Purple N186 A); 2) the black color of the young chili fruit (Black 203 A); 3) the fruit shape of Nazla IPB, which can be described as moderately triangular; and 4) the fruit undergoes a color transformation from black to dark green and finally to red. Nazla IPB has potential to serve as an attractive decorative plant option.

Abstract

Upper Brantas watershed with volcanic ash soil has potentially high carbon stock. However, land-use intensification in the upstream watershed area is the potential deterioration of soil quality, mainly degradation. The study aimed to assess the effect of land-use intensification in the upper Sumberbrantas watershed on soil carbon stock. The study was conducted in the upper Sumber brantas watershed, particularly in Kali kungkuk micro watershed, Batu City, East Java – Indonesia. Soil samples were taken at 0-30 cm and 30-100 cm on 4 land uses (i.e., forest, agroforestry, cropland, and shrubland) with three replications. The variable measured include basal area, standing litter mass, soil bulk density, and soil organic C. The results showed that land-use intensification strongly impacted soil carbon stock at 0-30 cm and 30-100 cm depth of soil. The soil carbon stock degradation of around 60% to 67% in the intensive cropping systems and in the post-cropping cultivation was covered by a shrub as compared to the forest soil, especially at a depth of 0–30 cm. The correlation value (p<0.05) between the basal area (0.65) and standing litter mass (0.42) on soil carbon stock, especially at a depth of 0-30 cm, indicated that the basal area and standing litter mass increase soil carbon stock. The result was in line with the soil bulk density by ANOVA test at a depth of 0-30 cm and 30-100 cm showing the effect (p<0.05) where intensive land use consisting of treeless (i.e., cropland and shrubland) increases the soil bulk density.
