Abstract

A research has been conducted to find out the ecological preferences of soil texture on seedling of mangrove species in mangrove forest of Teluk Buo, Padang of West Sumatra.

Samples were taken by making 3 transect lines perpendicular to the coastline. 26 observation plot 10 x 10 m was placed continuously zigz zag left to right along the transect line.
