Abstract. Kahirun, Sabaruddin L, Mukhtar, Kilowasid LOMH. 2019. Evaluation of land use impact on river water quality using macroinvertebrates as bioindicator in Lahumoko Watershed, Buton Island, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 20: 1658-1670. The Lahumoko Watershed, a small watershed, that empties into the sea is sensitive to water quality changes due to land use changes by humans. Uncontrolled land use changes can threaten the sustainability of the river ecological functions of the watershed. It is important to examine the comparison of river water quality in locations that represent land uses. So, the objectives of this study were to reveal the impact of land use on biological water quality in rivers and to analyze the relationship between macroinvertebrates communities with parameters of biodiversity and physicochemical at the observation locations that represented land use. Biological samplings were done using a hand net with a hole size of 0.5 mm mesh, at five stations, each with three replications, with a length of 30 m of each replication, 60 minutes per station. The results of the study showed that individual abundance, family biotic index and diversity index parameters indicated that the water quality was quite good in the upstream watershed (LM1, LM2, and LM3 stations) and somewhat worse in the middle (LM4 station) and downstream of the watershed (LM5 station). The Spearman's correlation, Dendrogram, and Canonical Correspondent Analysis (CCA) showed that there were similarities among LM1, LM2 and LM3 stations, and also between LM4 and LM5 stations. Physicochemical parameters, especially the velocity and flow rate of the river flow had significant correlation with individual richness and density.

Abstract. Erif, LOM, Djohan TS, Sudarmadji, Yasin A, Sudia LB, Kahirun. 2023. The application of the River Continuum Concept (RCC) on the headwaters of the Sampolawa River in Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 24: 290-299. Benthic aquatic insect communities in temperate regions have been used as bioindicators of a healthy forest in the stream headwaters.This research analyzes the abundance of benthic insects, the quality of water and nutrient sediment, and the response of the insect community in the Sampolawa River. The samples were collected using stratified random sampling methods with a Surber sampler 30 cm x 30 cm, 5 segmented streams, and 200 m with 4 replication. The results show that 19 species of 5 community feeding groups were found, including collector filters, gatherers, predators, scrapers, and shredders. However, the shredders community is very small, at about 2-4 %. The benthic insect aquatic dominance by collector filter with 29 % reflected that input from terrestrial vegetation is Fine Particulate Organic Matter (FPOM). Therefore, it can be deduced that Sampolawa headwaters do not fit with the prediction of the "River Continuum Concept (RCC)"for a typical headwater since the allochthonous energy supply from riparian vegetation is in the form of fine detritus.

The karst area is the dominant ecosystem in the area of Central Buton District where around 80 percent is a stretch of karst. This objectives of the study was to analyze the ability of ecosystems to provide food and water and its distribution spatially in Central Buton District. This research was conducted through a study of ecoregion characteristics, including data on landscape, natural vegetation types and land cover. In addition, population data, water availability, food availability and administrative data in Central Buton District were collected. Data analysis includes the calculation of ecosystem service indexes, spatial distribution of ecosystem service indices and indicative status of the carrying capacity of food and water. The average index of environmental services for food supply in the Karst area of Central Buton District was 2.52 with a low category, while the index of environmental services for water supply was lower at 1.96 with also a low category. Food service ecosystem index with a low category dominates Central Buton District with an area of 50,286.63 hectares (60.08%) and a medium category of 26,695.97 hectares (31.89%). Water supply ecosystem services index is very low to low with an area of 54,849.99 hectares (65.53%) and 24,551.24 hectares (29.33%). The overall carrying capacity of food and water in Central Buton District is still a surplus.

This study aims to determine the potential for CO2 uptake and carbon storage on the mangrove forest of Parida Village Lasalepa District Muna Regency. This research was conducted in January 2022 at Parida Village, Lasalepa District, Muna Regency. The sampling in this study used the purposive sampling method, the determination of the sampling was selected systematically with an intensity of 1%. The placement of the measuring plots is based on the zoning of the mangrove forest which is made of 3 (three) plots, where each plot is 15 m x 15 m (225 m2). The variables in this study were the diameter of an adult's chest height to determine above-ground biomass and carbon (above ground) without cutting down trees (non-destructive). Biomass is determined by Allometric equations. The carbon is determined by of the biomass. The results showed that the potential for CO2 absorption and carbon storage in mangroves in Parida Village, Lasalepa District, Muna Regency had an average CO2 absorption of 1057,49 ton.ha-1, and carbon storage 288,41 ton.ha-1. The carbon value is influenced by environmental conditions, the type of wood mass, the diameter of the mangrove trunk and the number of species contained in a plot.Keywords: Mangrove Forest, CO2Absorption,Carbon Storage. AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui potensi serapan CO2 dan simpanan karbon pada hutan mangrove di Desa Parida Kecamatan Lasalepa Kabupaten Muna.Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada Bulan Januari 2022 bertempat di Desa Parida Kecamatan Lasalepa Kabupaten Muna.Adapun pengambilan sampel dalam penelitian ini menggunakan metode purposive sampling, penentuan pengambilan sampel dipilihsecara sistematis dengan intensitas 1%.
