Abstract

The marine environment has a significant role in maintaining the balance of gas exchange in the air, especially between oxygen and carbon dioxide. The potential of the marine environment for gas exchange is supported by the existence of marine ecosystems such as seagrass ecosystems. This is in accordance with the blue carbon concept which plays a role in environmental mitigation in reducing carbon through the coastal environment. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the potential carbon content of the diversity of seagrass species at three locations of seagrass beds in the coastal waters of Central Lombok. The research method uses the line transect method and the ashing method. Seagrass vegetation data were analyzed using community structure analysis (diversity, uniformity and dominance). In addition, analysis of seagrass biomass and carbon content of seagrass was carried out. Furthermore, the regression analysis between seagrass density as the independent variable (X) and the carbon content of seagrass species as the dependent variable (Y). The results of the study found 8 species of seagrass found in the waters of Central Lombok with moderate diversity ranging from 1.59-1.77. The value of seagrass biomass in the waters of Central Lombok is dominated by the bottom substrate with a value of 3.38±1.58 gbk.m-2 while the upper substrate with a value of 1.69±0.98 gbk.m-2. The carbon value of seagrass in Central Lombok waters is dominated by the bottom of the substrate with a value of 1.39±0.22 tonC/Ha while the upper substrate is 0.72±0.13 tonC/Ha. Meanwhile, the results of the calculation of the Pearson's correlation (r) between the density of each type of seagrass as an independent variable (X) and the carbon content of each type of seagrass as the dependent variable (Y) shows the equation y = 10,608x + 70,155 with a correlation coefficient of 0.64 which belongs to the category medium and the coefficient of determination (r2) is 0.41. The conclusion of this study is that there is no significant relationship between the density of each type of seagrass and the carbon of each type of seagrass as indicated by the value of Fcount (4.17) < Ftable (6.60) with a value of =0.05 so that H0 is accepted and Ha is rejected.

Abstract

Butterflies have an important role in human life in various fields such as ecology, economy, aesthetics, and education. The Aik Bukak Tourism Park area is one of the butterfly habitats in Aik Bukak Village, Batu Kliang Utara District, Central Lombok Regency. That aims to determine the diversity of butterflies in the Aik Bukak Tourism Park area. Data collection used a purposive survey method with a sweeping technique following three predetermined observation lines, namely the entrance, the path around the pond, and the forest path. This research was fully recorded 327 individuals member of 23 spesies, 18 genera, and 5 families. The analysis of the butterfly species diversity index used the Shannon-Wienner formula and the diversity index value (HÕ›) was 2.939 which means medium category. The species dominance index was analyzed using the Simpson's species dominance formula and obtained the species dominance index value was 0.059, which means that no species dominates at that location.

Abstract

Green eggplant is native to the tropics. Green eggplant is one of the most popular vegetable ingredients in Indonesia. The availability of nutrients in the growing media is one of the most determining factors for the growth and yield of green eggplant. Research on vegetative growth of green eggplant due to vermicompost and NPK fertilizer treatment has been carried out from April to August 2021. This study aims to determine: (1) vegetative growth of green eggplant due to vermicompost treatment, (2) green eggplant vegetative growth due to NPK fertilizer treatment, (3) green eggplant vegetative growth due to interaction of vermicompost and NPK fertilizer treatment. This research was conducted in a factorial completely randomized design with three replications. The first factor is the application of NPK fertilizer which consists of 4 levels and the second factor is the treatment of vermicompost which consists of 5 levels. Research data were analyzed using analysis of variance. The results showed: (1) treatment of NPK fertilizer with different doses significantly effected the number of leaves, stem diameter, leaf length, and stem height of green eggplant. The optimum dose of NPK fertilizer was 2 grams for one plant, which produced the number of leaves, diameter stems, leaf length and stem height of green eggplant were better than treatments at other doses. (2) The treatment of vermicompost had a significant effect on the number of leaves, stem diameter, leaf blade length, and stem height of green eggplant, the optimum dose of vermicompost was 1.8 kg  for 1 m2 of agricultural land, resulting in stem diameter, number of leaves, leaf length and green eggplant stem height was better than other treatments (3) the interaction of vermicompost and NPK fertilizer had no significant effect on stem diameter, number of leaves, leaf length and stem height of green eggplant.
