Struktur Dan Komposisi Vegetasi Mangrove Di Kawasan Laguna Segara Anakan Cilacap

Abstract

In coastal areas, mangrove communities have many functions economically, physically, and ecologically. One of the mangrove forest areas that is experiencing rapid decline in area is the Segara Anakan Lagoon, Cilacap. The purpose of this study was to determine the structure and composition of mangrove vegetation. Vegetation data was collected by purposive sampling method and each station was made 9 sampling plots. The results found that there are 12 species consisting of 4 major mangrove families, 1 minor mangrove family and 2 associated mangrove families. In general, the mangrove tree vegetation in the eastern part of Segara Anakan is dominated by Aegiceras corniculatum with an INP ranging from 38.99-67.23%, the middle part is dominated by Nypa fruticans with an INP ranging from 47.80-70.18% and the western part is dominated by Sonneratia alba with an INP of 56.32%. Environmental quality measures include water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, soil pH, water pH, TSS, total soil N, organic C, soil phosphate still support mangrove life.

Analysis of land cover change in Sagara Anakan Cilacap, Central Java using principal component analysis (PCA)

“…The flow of these rivers flows a high sedimentation and nutrient input into Segara Anakan, there by affecting the area of mangroves in the region [8]. In Segara Anakan, there are 12 mangrove species of 4 major, one minor, and two associated mangrove families [9]. Segara Anakan has considerable potential for mangrove conservation, but in 2013 there was a decrease in the distribution and area of mangroves compared to previous years, with an area of 6,716 Ha [10].…”
