Fourier analysis was used to demonstrate distinctive seasonal patterns of leaf litter fall in the mangrove species Rhizophora apiculata, R. stylosa and R. lamarckii. Similar treatment of data for stipule fall was not successful, indicating that this process may be controlled by random events. The fall of leaves and reproductive parts appears to be correlated with climatic factors, notably rainfall, in a fashion that varies with species. Seasonal trends without Fourier analysis are described for Sonneratia alba, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, B. parviflora, Avicennia sp. and Ceriops tagal in terms of leaves and reproductive parts, and for leaves only in Excoecaria agallocha, Xylocarpus granatum, Heritiera littoralis, Lumnitzera racemosa and L. littorea.

Annual totals of the components of litter fall (leaves, reproductive parts, stipules, wood and residual debris) are presented for Rhizophora apiculata, R. lamarckii and R. stylosa as well as for Sonneratia alba, Avicennia sp., Ceriops tagal, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza and B. parviflora from a large number of sites at Hinchinbrook Island (lat. 18°15'S.; long. 146°15'E.). Annual total litter fall among all species ranged from 3.8 to 19.6 Mg ha-1. The mean value among the Rhizophora spp., the most extensively sampled was 9.6 Mg ha-1 yr-1. Leaves, generally, made up the most important component of all litter materials. The results are compared with records in the literature for tidal as well as non-tidal forests elsewhere in the tropics.

The mangrove forests of north-eastern Australia are both species-rich and well developed but there is very little information available on their vegetative growth or flowering and fruiting behaviour. This account attempts to rectify this situation by presenting the results of at least 4 years of field studies and observations. Previous reports recorded no less than 35 mangrove species occumng along the north-eastern coast and observations of the flowering and fruiting status of all these species were made. The results are supported by some litter fall studies and overall they reflect the diversity of mangrove species by displaying a range of peak activity months. However, there are some common trends and most species flower mainly during the dry hot summer (September-December) prior to the rainy season when they drop their propaguies during the morniks of peak rainfall (around February). Detailed studies of litter fall were camed out in Missionary Bay, Hinchinbrook Island (18° 16̸2S.,146° 13̸2E.), and care was taken to record components of floral development and vegetative growth. The results for five species (Rhizophora apiculata, R. stylosa, R. × lamarckii, Bruguiera gymnorhiza and Ceriops tagal var. tagal) include estimates of mean leaf longevity and also suggest that the floral and vegetative cycles are coordinated.

The Relationship

This research was conducted to determine the condition of the mangrove ecosystem based on its canopy cover and to determine the types of mollusks (Bivalves and Gastropods) associated with the Benoa Bay mangrove ecosystem. Hemispherical photography is a method for observing mangrove canopy cover and line transect method for mollusks. The composition of mangrove species found in the research location were five species, namely Rhizophora stylosa, Rhizophora mucronata, Rhizophora apiculata, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, and Avicennia marina. The percentage of mangrove canopy cover in the Benoa Bay mangrove ecosystem is in a good category (average = 76.59%). There are eight types of mollusks found in the research location. There are two types of bivalves (Polymesoda bengalensis and Gafrarium pectinatum) and six types of gastropods (Nerita balteata, Nerita picea, Neritina turrita, Pila ampullacea, Cassidula aurisfelis, and Littoraria melanostoma). The relationship between the percentage of mangrove canopy cover and abundance of mollusks in the Benoa Bay mangrove ecosystem is very strong (r) of 0.920. The higher the percentage value of mangrove canopy cover, the higher the mollusks abundance.

ABSTRAK: Ekosistem mangrove adalah komunitas tumbuhan tropis yang berada di daerah tepi pantai yang memiliki kemampuan adaptasi pada perairan asin di wilayah intertidal yang dipengaruhi oleh pasang surut air laut. Struktur komunitas mangrove merupakan salah satu parameter dalam menentukan kondisi mangrove. Kawasan ekosistem mangrove yang memiliki karakteristik dinamis komposisi jenis mangrove terdapat di Segara Anakan. Akan tetapi memiliki penurunan luasan hutan mangrove. Hal ini adanya beragam faktor kondisi lingkungan di Segara Anakan, sehingga menyebabkan variabilitas mangrove wilayah Segara Anakan berbeda. Namun kondisi terkini belum banyak dilakukan dalam suatu penelitian sehingga dibutuhkan informasi ilmiah terkini untuk mengetahui komposisi jenis mangrove. Untuk mengatasi hal tersebut maka dilakukan penelitian struktur komunitas untuk mengetahui kondisi ekologi mangrove di Segara Anakan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menggambarkan kondisi struktur komunitas mangrove di muara timur Segara Anakan. Lokasi penelitian berada di muara sungai bagian Timur (Sungai Donan). Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode deskriptif. Penentuan titik pengambilan data atau sampel di setiap lokasi dilakukan dengan teknik purposive sampling. Selain itu, digunakan teknik transek kuadrat 10x10 m dan Hemispherical Photography. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kerapatan pohon sebesar 90,6 /ha. Kerapatan sapling rata-rata bernilai 1023 /ha. Kerapatan seedling bernilai 1746 /ha di Muara Timur. Tutupan kanopi komunitas mangrove memiliki persentase kurang dari 75%. Tinggi dan diameter pohon didapatkan sebesar 5,97 m dan 3,1 cm. Spesies mangrove yang ditemukan di dalam plot berjumlah 10 spesies mangrove yaitu Rhizophora apiculata, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, Aegiceras corniculatum, Avicennia marina, Avicennia alba, Ceriops tagal, Ceriops decandra, Sonneratia caseolaris, Sonneratia alba, Scyphiphora hydrophyllacea, Xylocarpus moluccensis, Xylocarpus granatum, Talipariti tiliaceum, dan Nypa fruticans. ABSTRACT: Mangrove ecosystems are communities of tropical plants located on the coast that have the ability to adapt to salty waters in intertidal areas which are affected by tides. Mangrove community structure is one of the parameters in determining mangrove condition. Mangrove ecosystem areas that have dynamic characteristics of mangrove species composition are found in Segara Anakan. However, it has decreased the area of mangrove forests. This is because of various environmental conditions in Segara Anakan, causing variability of mangroves in the Segara Anakan area to be different. However, recent conditions have not been carried out in many studies, so the latest scientific information is needed to determine the species composition of mangroves. To overcome this, a community structure research was conducted to determine the ecological conditions of mangroves in Segara Anakan. The purpose of this study was to describe the condition of the mangrove community structure in the eastern estuary of Segara Anakan. The research location is in the mouth of the eastern river (Donan River). The method used in this research is descriptive method. Determination of data collection points or samples at each location was done by using purposive sampling technique. In addition, the 10x10 m quadratic transect technique and Hemispherical Photography were used. The results showed the tree density was 90.6 ind/ha. Saplingaveraged 1023 ind/ha. The density seedling is 1746 ind/ha in Muara Timur. The canopy cover of the mangrove community has a percentage of less than 75%. The tree height and diameter were 5.97 m and 3.1 cm respectively. There are 10 mangrove species found in the plot, namely Rhizophora apiculata, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, Aegiceras corniculatum, Avicennia marina, Avicennia alba, Ceriops tagal, Ceriops decandra, Sonneratia caseolaris, Sonneratia alba, Scyphiphora hydrophyllacea, Xylocarpus moluccensis, Xylocarpus granatum, Talipariti tiliaceum, and Nypa fruticans.

Kendari Bay is directly adjacent to the Kendari City area, so that it receives a lot of pressure mainly from community activities. This pressure causes the declining of mangrove forest area every year. Reproductive phenology of mangroves can be used in planning, collecting seeds, and seeding propagules for rehabilitation of degraded mangrove forest area. The aims of this research were to know the morphological characteristics of mangrove reprodutive organs and mangrove reproductive phenology of Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, Ceriops tagal, Rhizophora apiculata, and Rhizophora mucronata in Kendari Bay. The method using in this research was observation method that conducted directly in the field. Morphology and phenology of mangrove reproduction divided into 6 phases, i.e. flower bud, blooming flower, ovary, fruit, young propagule and mature propagule. The data was analysed descriptively. According to the result, the morphological characteristics of 4 mangrove species were different. Flower of B. gymnorrhiza was single, whereas flowers of C. tagal, R. apiculata and R. mucronata were inflorescences. Ovary of B. gymnorrhiza was hemi inferous, whereas ovaries of C. tagal, R. apiculata and R. mucronata were superous. R. mucronata had the largest propagule compared to other mangroves observed. The timing of mangrove reproductive phenology also showed different result. B. gymnorrhiza required 299 days to develop from flower bud to mature propagule and R. apiculata required 262 days, whereas C. tagal and R. mucronata  had not been able known its phenological period because the timing data from ovary to fruit had not been obtained. Further research is needed to resolve this issue.

Litter fall studies were used to assess phenologies and productivity of Sonneratia alba, S. caseolaris and their putative hybrid, S. × Gulngai, in north-eastern Australia. Annual total litter falls (mean ± s.d.) were 2.5 × 0.5, 2.6 × 1.4 and 3.2 g dry weight m-2 day-1, respectively. Litter was partitioned into leaves (47, 61 and 50%), wood (12, 14 and 19%) and reproductive parts (41, 25 and 31%). In addition, monthly reproductive schedules were produced for each taxon. Differences between taxa were pronounced. For S. alba, flowering peaked in December and fruiting in February. For S. caseolaris, flowering peaked in late February and fruiting in June and July. S. × Gulngai was characterised by an apparent combination of events described for the two putative parental forms. This observation, along with a low (a%) fruiting success, provides further support for the hybrid status of this taxon.

We studied  the floristic compostion and structure of mangrove forests and mangrove species distribution at the Raja Ampat Regency, West Papua  We sampled the forests using (10x10 m) quadrats to record trees and saplings  laid out contiguously along 9 transects of 60 – 450 m long,  stretching perpendicularly from the coastlines or riverbanks to the landward borders. Seedlings were sampled using a 1x1 m subplot nested in each quadrat.  The transects were established on the islands of  Batanta (6), Salawati  (2). and Waigeo (1).  Within quadrats and transects we recorded 17 mangrove species of trees with density of 768 stems/ha and basal area of  37.82 m2/ha and tree height of  10 – 30 m.   Two species possessed  the highest importance value  (IV) , frequency, density and basal area  i.e. Rhizophora apiculata (IV=168.06 %) and  Bruguiera gymnorrhiza (IV=67.18).  They also showed the highest similarity in their distribution,  indicating highest degree of association.  The mangrove at Raja Ampat may, therefore,  be designated as the Rhizophora apiculata-Bruguiera gymnorrhiza Association. Other species with highest degree of distributional similarities but with low densities, basal areas and importance values were Barringtonia racemosa, Excoecaria agallocha, Hibiscus tiliaceus, Inocarpus fagifera,  Lumnitzera littorea and Sterculia shillinglawii,  of which four of them are not  true mangrove species, usually growing on less saline and more solid soils. The floristic composition of the transects in the three islands showed relatively high similarities of about 70 % and at higher similarities the transects in Batanta Island formed four groups, Salawati Island two groups and Waigeo Island one group.The Bray-Curtis polar ordination  resulted in four groups  of transects, which were related to the habitat  conditions and the length of the transects. Species diversity in the islands was very low, where the  Shannon diversity index  ranged  from  0.19 to 0.64 giving  the average  of 0.42. Rhizophora apiculata and Bruguiera gymnorrhiza  were gregenerating well and in the future they will remain dominant.  The mangrove forests of the Raja Ampat Islands by any means should be maintained as green belts and  protected from all kinds of destruction and should be made into conservation areas in order to sustain its ability to provide ecological services  and non-destructive economic benefits.
