Abstract

The study aims to know the productivity of litter and litter decomposition rate in karst ecosystem. This study was conducted on three altitude of 200 meter above sea level (masl), 250 masl and 300 masl in karst ecosystem at Gunung Cibodas, Ciampea, Bogor. Litter productivity measurement performed using litter-trap method and litter-bag method was used to know the rate of decomposition. Litter productivity measurement results showed that the highest total of litter productivity measurement results was on altitude of 200 masl (90.452 tons/ha/year) and the lowest was on altitude of 300 masl (25.440 tons/ha/year). The litter productivity of leaves (81.425 ton/ha/year) showed the highest result than twigs (16.839 ton/ha/year), as well as flowers and fruits (27.839 ton/ha/year). The rate of decomposition was influenced by rainfall. The decomposition rate and the decrease of litter dry weight on altitude of 250 masl was faster than on the altitude of 200 masl and 300 masl. The dry weight was positively correlated to the rate of decomposition. The lower of dry weight would affect the rate of decomposition become slower. The average of litter C/N ratio were ranged from 28.024%--28.716% and categorized as moderate (>25). The finding indicate that the rate of decomposition in karst ecosystem at Gunung Cibodas was slow and based on C/N ratio of litter showed the mineralization process was also slow.

Abstract

In the last few years, a great emphasis has been placed on phytoremediation of indoor air pollution studies. However, limited work has been addressed to observe the bacteria potential to assist the phytoremediation process of trimethylamine (TMA). In this work, the ability of 4 different bacteria for individual TMA removal and IAA production were observed. In addition, the enhancement of TMA removal efficiency by Euphorbia milii with various inoculating bacteria were investigated. Bacillus thuringiensis, Citrobacter amalonaticus Y19, Bacillus nealsonii, and white colony-soil bacteria (WCSB) were able to absorb TMA and produce IAA individually. B. thuringiensis and C. amalonaticus Y19 were the two most effective bacteria to improve TMA removal efficiency by the plant. Since concentrations of IAA production by individual bacterium were highly correlated with TMA removal efficiency by plants in early periods of fumigation and highly correlated with leaf IAA production of bacterially inoculated plants, two predicted mechanisms on improving TMA uptake by bacterially inoculated plants are presented: (1) bacteria migration from plant roots to leaves increases leaf IAA concentration and (2) increasing concentration of bacterially inoculated root IAA inhibits transportation of IAA from leaves to roots, resulting in higher leaf IAA concentration. The higher concentration of leaf IAA is suggested to be a factor to increase stomatal opening which improves TMA removal efficiency of the plant.
