Mangrove plants are popularized for their edible and vital source of food. Mangroves in Pulau Sembilan, Langkat, North Sumatra, Indonesia were supported by the high plant diversity. These major tree species provided mangrove fruits annually assist finding a new variety functional food materials. Bioprospecting was denoted exploration bioresources material to useful derived products. The present...

Mangrove forests are one of the world’s most threatened tropical ecosystems. The study aimed assessing composition and diversity species in Camotes Island, Philippines, as basis for its conservation protection. A Belt line transect method was used, with a minimum length 1000m maximum 2000m along landward, middle, seaward at an interval 100m. Quadrat 10 x 10m were established within 250m. All pl...

Pulau Tanakeke terletak di Kecamatan Kepulauan Kabupaten Takalar merupakan salah satu wilayah yang memiliki keanekaragaman ekosistem mangrove cukup tinggi. Daerah pesisir pulau tersebut sebagian besar dikelilingi oleh mangrove, namun dalam lima (5) tahun terakhir mengalami penurunan luasan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perubahan tutupan dan kerapatan antara 2017 sampai 2022. Pengam...

The mangrove forests play a significant role as sediment traps. They reduce tidal flows and induce sedimentation of soil particles at low tide. However, there are no such processes taking place in the non-mangrove areas. Site of Avicennia-Rhizophora interphase is more efficient than Avicennia and or Rhizophora zones, in trapping the sediment by 30, 25 and 20% respectively at low tide as compare...

BACKGROUND Secondary growth by successive cambia is a rare phenomenon in woody plant species. Only few plant species, within different phylogenetic clades, have secondary growth by more than one vascular cambium. Often, these successive cambia are organised concentrically. In the mangrove genus Avicennia however, the successive cambia seem to have a more complex organisation. This study aimed (...
