“…This research was conducted in the Air Telang Protected Forest (ATPF), a coastal forest landscape dominated by mangroves with an area of 12,660 ha, located in South Sumatra Province, Indonesia (Figure 1). According to the literature [22], the ATPF is covered by true and associated mangroves dominated by Nypa fruticans, Rhizophora apiculate, and Acrostichum aureum.…”

“…The area of both primary and secondary forests in ATPF continued to decline during the 1985-2020 period. Nevertheless, the remaining forest areas were dominated by Nypa fruticans, spanning across almost all coastline areas of ATPF [22,47]. The domination of invasive mangrove palms such as Nypa fruticans indicates that the areas are heavily disturbed in ATPF.…”

“…However, some areas of this forest have been degraded because of land-use conversion for coconut and oil palm plantations, fishponds, agricultural land, ports, and settlements [21]. One of the degradation impacts includes the decline of mangrove species diversity [22]. Some other impacts require further assessment in order to improve current land management in this area and to minimize mangrove loss in the future, specifically as mangroves are being recognized as important ecosystems for the nature-based mitigation of the impacts of global climate change in coastal areas [23].…”

The Air Telang Protected Forest (ATPF) is one of the most dynamic and essential coastal forest landscapes in South Sumatra, Indonesia, because of its location between multiple river outlets, including the Musi catchment—Sumatra’s largest and most dense lowland catchment area. While most ATPF areas are covered by mangroves, these areas have been experiencing severe anthropogenic-driven degradation and conversion. This study aims to evaluate land cover changes and associated carbon emissions in the ATPF over a 35-year period (1985–2020) by utilizing the available Landsat and Sentinel imagery from 1985, 2000, and 2020. Throughout the analysis period, we observed 63% (from 10,886 to 4059 ha) primary and secondary forest loss due to land use change. We identified three primary anthropogenic activities driving these losses, namely, land clearing for plantations and agriculture (3693 ha), coconut plantations (3315 ha), aquaculture (245 ha). We estimated that the largest carbon emissions were caused by coconut plantation conversion, with total carbon emissions of approximately 14.14 Mt CO2-eq. These amounts were almost 4 and 21 times higher than emissions from land clearing and aquaculture, respectively, as substantial soil carbon loss occurs once mangroves get transformed into coconut plantations. While coconut plantation expansion on mangroves could generate significant carbon stock losses and cleared forests become the primary candidate for restoration, our dataset could be useful for future land-based emission reduction policy intervention at a subnational level. Ultimately, our findings have direct implications for current national climate policies, through low carbon development strategies and emission reductions from the land use sector for 2030, as outlined in the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).

“…Sementara itu, menurut Sahromi (2011), jenis Sonneratia sp yang sering disebut pedada atau pedado merupakan jenis mangrove yang tumbuh pada daerah dengan salinitas rendah, tanah berlumpur, dan sering tumbuh di sepanjang sungai, dan juga terpengaruh oleh pasang surut. Hasil penelitian Eddy et al (2019) menyatakan bahwa kawasan hutan mangrove yang didominasi oleh Nypa fruticans merupakan kawasan yang terganggu, dan spesies ini akan berada di zona dekat daratan atau zona transisi dan bisa menginvasi semua zona hutan mangrove.…”

Mangrove ecosystem services, aside for the fisheries sector, also have ecosystem services in mitigating climate change as carbon sinks and storage. Musi river estuary located in Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra has the potential of mangrove forests as carbon reserves. The purpose of the study is to analyze the community structure, potential carbon stocks, and economic value of mangroves in the Musi River Estuary. Data were collected at five stations using the 100 m quadratic transect method vertically to the coastline. Data analysis was conducted based on the allometric equation for biomass information, carbon storage, and the economic value of carbon stores. Mangrove ecosystems in the Musi River estuary are Sonneratia alba, Nypa fruticans, Sonneratia casiolaris, and Rhizopora apiculata. Mangrove species that have important roles in the sustainability of ecosystems are Nypa fruticans and Sonneratia alba each with IVI of 145.6 and 101.28, respectively. Carbon storage of mangrove in the Musi river estuary is 107.34 tonC / ha and carbon dioxide absorption is 393.59 tCO2 / ha with a mangrove area of ± 5276 ha. The total estimated economic value of carbon generated from mangrove are Rp174.441.016.895 (free market) and Rp455.872.524.151 (CDM). Keywords: carbon, mangrove, Musi river estuary

“…Likewise, the disturbed ATPF conditions will easily be invaded by nipah in almost all zones, from the near sea zone (tidal) to the near land zone. According to Eddy et al (2019), nipah was found in almost all sampling points in ATPF, both in primary forest, secondary forest, and disturbed primary forest, and was even able to dominate tree-level stands with an average Importance Value Index (IVI) of species of 89.9%.…”

Abstract. Eddy S, Basyuni M. 2020. The phenomenon of nipah (Nypa fruticans) invasion in the Air Telang Protected Forest, Banyuasin District, South Sumatra, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 21: 5114-5118. Disturbed mangrove forests such as the Air Telang Protected Forest (ATPF) do not have plant formation as natural mangrove forests and tend to be invaded by Nypa fruticans locally called nipah. The purpose of this study was to describe the phenomenon of nipah invasion in ATPF as a result of anthropogenic activities and its effects. The field survey was carried out by determining several sampling points according to the actual conditions of the area using the Geographic Information System/GPS. During field survey, data were collected in the form of descriptions and documentation of forest conditions, especially the distribution of nipah plants along with interviews with the local communities. It was known that nipah invasion occurred in the ATPF area due to anthropogenic activities where nipah thrives in open areas, both in tidal and land zones, as well as in pond areas. The invasion of nipah will have an impact on disturbing the balance of mangrove forest ecosystem functions due to changes in the physical, chemical, and biological conditions of the environment. However, nipah has various benefits that can be used by the local community, including the leaves, stems, and fruit, as well as the presence of worms that are associated with the nipah plant.
