The diversity of mosses around the Syamsudin Noor international airport was never reported. This study aimed to reveal the variety of moss around the Syamsudin Noor International Airport area. This research uses the purposive sampling method. Measurement of environmental parameters includes air temperature, light intensity, humidity, and soil pH. Moss identification refers to the book A Handbook of Malesian Mosses volume 1 Sphagnales to Dicranales and A Handbook of Malesian Mosses volume 2 Leucobryaceae to Buxbaumiaceae. The moss morphological characters observed included the leaves, stems, and rhizoids using a stereomicroscope. The results showed that in Syamsudin Noor International Airport's vicinity, there are as many as five types of moss consisting: Pseudoracelopus acaulis, Hyophila apiculata Homalothecium lutescens, Ectropothecium falciforme, Fissidens atroviridis. The most dominant type of moss is Pseudoracelopus acaulis. The range of environmental parameter values ??is air temperature 28-34oC, light intensity 20-35 lux, humidity 74-84%, and soil pH 7. This study's results are preliminary data to determine the environmental change around Syamsudin Noor International Airport.
Research on biodiversity of bryophyta around Syamsudin Noor International airport has never been reported. The study purposed the types of mosses around the Syamsudin Noor International Airport. A purposive sampling method was used to collect bryophyta and then environmental parameters were directly measured in the field. Moss identification referred to the book A Handbook of Malesian Mosses volume 1 Sphagnales to Dicranales and volume 2 Leucobryaceae to Buxbaumiaceae. Morphological characteristics of mosses were observed at leaf parts, stem, and rhizoids. The results showed 7 species of mosses consisting of Barbula javanica, Hyophila apiculata, Philonotis hastata, Ectropothecium falciforme, Fissidens atroviridis, Calymperes tenerum, and Hyophila involuta. The dominant species was Barbula javanica. The range of environmental parameter valued air temperature 28.1–34.1°C, light intensity 20–35 lux, humidity 74–84%, and soil pH 6.5–7. The results of this study are preliminary data that can be used for further research and determine the changing conditions of the environment around Syamsudin Noor International Airport.
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.
