Plant specimens were collected by using survey method, than it was identified and preserved as herbaria. The result indicated that there was 55 species (27 families) of mangrove plants in Central Java, composed by major (17), minor (12), and association (26) plants, with habits i.e. trees (32), bushes (13), and herbs (10). The species of major mangrove plant with the broadest range of site distribution were R. mucronata (16), followed by S. alba (15), N. fruticans (12), A. alba and A. marina (each was 11). The species of minor mangrove plant with the broadest range of site distribution was A. aureum (11). The associative plant of mangrove with the broadest range of site distribution was A. ilicifolius (16), D. trifoliata (15), C. gigantea (13), H. tiliaceus (11), T. catappa (11), and I. pes-caprae (10). The other species were distributed in less than 10 sites. The location with the most varied species diversity was Wulan (35), the next was Motean and Muara Dua (each was 29
The study was intended to observe the vegetation composition and structure of mangrove plants on southern and northern coast of Central Java Province. This research was conducted in July till December 2003, at 20 sites. Laboratory assay was done in Laboratory of Biology Department, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, and Central Laboratory of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Sebelas Maret University (UNS) Surakarta. Data was collected by using belt transect method, from coast line into landward. The result indicated that in common, the trees strata which also have shoots strata and strata of germs (seedlings); and bushes strata which also have strata of germs(seedlings), if they were compared to the same species then their important value tend to be stable. So it was predictable that in the disturbance condition, the preservation of mangrove was guaranteed, as long as there was no great change on a broad scale.© 2005 Jurusan Biologi FMIPA UNS SurakartaKey words: mangrove plants, Central Java Province, composition and vegetation structure
The study was intended to observe the horizontal and vertical diagrams of mangrove vegetation profile on southern and northern coast of Central Java Province. This research was conducted in July until December 2003, at 20 sites. Analysis of profile diagram was done in Laboratory of Biology Department, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Sebelas Maret University (UNS) Surakarta. Data was collected by using belt transect method, from coast line into landward. The result indicated that the diagram profile of vegetation showed the height of anthropogenic influence, where the vegetation was dominated by young plants; there were only (1)-2-(3-4) strata of canopy (storey). Human disturbance caused most of the vegetation in the secondary succession level; almost it has not in the climax condition level. The area in the belt transect that used to build diagram usually have canopy gap or bare land caused by logging, or to be converse into another land use, especially sawah (rice field) and tambak (fish pond and salt extraction). The resistance of young plant gives hope to the sustainability of the mangrove plant in Central Java, but width scale of environmental changes can degrade this habitat completely.Key words: vegetation profile, horizontal and vertical diagrams, Central Java Province
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
