Abstract

Seagrass is one of the ecosystems that absorbs carbon through the process of photosynthesis which can be stored in the form of biomass in the leaves, rhizomes and roots. The content of heavy metal Hg in roots, rhizomes, and leaves of seagrass species has a negative correlation, namely the higher the heavy metal content, the lower the chlorophyll content, which can trigger climate change due to greenhouse gases. The aim of this study was to determine the potential carbon absorption capacity of seagrass species in Sekotong waters, West Lombok. The research method used _ is descriptive quantitative. Plant samples were collected using the Purposive Random Sampling method. Analysis of the carbon content in samples of seagrass species can be identified through C-organic analysis conducted in the laboratory using the Walkley and Black method. The results of the study found that the average Hg and carbon content of seagrass species in seagrass beds were Station 1: (Hg: 0.31, Carbon: 63%), Station 2: (Hg: 0.45, Carbon: 50%) and Station 3: (Hg :0.35%, Carbon:55%). so that it can be concluded that the carbon content in seagrass species decreases with the level of involvement of mercury in seagrass species. The research results are expected to be used as a source of information related to carbon absorption by seagrasses in Sekantung waters, West Lombok so that they can be taken into consideration for the management of water areas, especially the waters of Waring Sekotong, West Lombok.

Abstract

Bamboo plant is a potential source of plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB). Phosphate solubilizing ability is an important characteristic of PGPB. This study aims to isolate phosphate solubilizing bacteria around the bamboo clumps using natural media. The bacteria around the bamboo clumps are trapped using natural media. The media consist of  70 gram cooked rice and 70 gram banana peel. The media were stored in plastic boxes with four types of treatments: 1) tightly closed, 2) covered with tissue, 3) covered with banana leaves, and 4) uncovered (open). Those plastic boxes are placed around the bamboo clump and left  for up to 5 days. The trapped phosphate solubilizing bacteria were isolated using Pikovskaya agar. A total of 17 isolates of phosphate solubilizing bacteria were successfully trapped, 8 isolates in cooked rice and 9 isolates in banana peel. The isolates showed a phosphate solubilization index, ranging from 0,2 to 1,40. The isolate NN01 has the highest ability to solubilize phosphate. This isolate was trapped in a cooked rice with an open plastic box condition. NN01 is a Gram positive rod-shaped bacterium. In this study it was revealed that the area of ​​the bamboo clumps is inhabited by various types of bacteria. The natural media of cooked rice and banana peels have a good ability to trap potential phosphate solubilizing bacteria around the bamboo clumps.

Abstract

Mangrove ecosystems have an important role in coastal areas. One of the roles of mangroves is to protect the shoreline and prevent seawater intrusion. Molluscs are one of the mangrove association biota whose lives are influenced by the presence of mangrove forests. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the diversity of molluscs and the relationship between mangrove density and limiting molluscs to the coastal mangrove area of ​​Gerupuk Beach, Central Lombok. Sampling of molluscs used the quadrate sampling method with purposive sampling by taking into account the mangrove species found in the observation plots. The data obtained were then analyzed with the charisma index, associations, and Pearson's correlation coefficient. The results of this study obtained 13 species of Molluscs consisting of 12 species of the Gastropod family and 1 species of the Bivalvia family. The Brachyura diversity index at the research station was moderate with a value between 1.48–1.88. Furthermore, there were 8 species of Molluscs associated with 4 species of mangrove from 13 species of Molluscs found. The linear regression equation y = 0.1429x + 0.0007 with a Pearson correlation coefficient (r) of 0.57 indicates a strong relationship between the independent variable (x) mangrove density and the dependent variable (y) exposure to molluscs. The conclusion of this study is that the diversity of molluscs in the mangrove area of ​​Gerupuk Beach is included in the moderate category and there is a significant relationship between mangrove density and mollusk attractions.

Abstract

The Rote turtle with the scientific name Chelodina mccordi is an endemic animal from Rote Island, East Nusa Tenggara. The Rote turtle is unique in its long neck and snake-like head. Rote turtles are rarely found in their natural habitat because many are hunted to be traded by collectors of endemic reptiles. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the habitat and behavior of the rote tortoise on its morphology and body mechanisms. The method used to compile this paper is to use literature reviews and literature studies from various sources to discuss 5 topics of study, namely: Rote Turtle Habitat, Rote Turtle Morphology, Blood Circulation System, Rote Turtle Respiratory System, Osmoregulation and Excretion of the Rote Turtle, and Uniqueness and Management of the Rote Turtle. Based on the results obtained, the habitat of the Rote turtle greatly influences the morphology and mechanisms of blood, respiration, osmoregulation, and excretion of the Rote turtle. The habitat for tortoise rote is the appropriate physical environment. Low rainfall of around 800-1200 mm/year and swamp grass with a height of about 2-3 meters. Potential predators for food and hunting have caused the Rote tortoise to become rare and rarely found in its natural habitat. The NTT government has designated three natural habitat lakes are natural habitats and the Governor of NTT Decree Number: 204/KEP/HK/2019 made the rote turtle habitat for the rote turtle Essential Ecosystem Area.
