The conversion of natural forest to agroforestry plantations and annual cropping systems alters the soil habitat and food resources for biota, including earthworms. Native earthworm species may disappear whereas exotic species with greater tolerance of disturbance and less niche specialisation may thrive. The objective of the study was to compare the earthworm diversity in managed forest and agroforestry systems, which were cultivated for mixed plantation and annual crop production on Mount Gede, Indonesia. All the habitats in the study area were impacted by humans. The forest habitat was a managed forest, with a permanent tree cover, whereas mixed plantation had a partial shrub cover. Meanwhile, homogenous plantation was cultivated with annual crops. Among 3787 individuals collected during July–October 2012, five Oriental earthworm species were identified in the soil communities of Mount Gede: Drawida nepalensis, Notoscolex javanica, Pheretima pura-group, Polypheretima moelleri, and Polypheretima sempolensis. Also, 18 species were found that are reported to be non-Oriental in origin. Anthropogenic disturbance of forests on Mount Gede, due to conversion into plantations, alters the earthworm environment by increasing soil water content, temperature and total phosphorous content, while decreasing organic carbon. N. javanica was the only native species to survive this deforestation, while the exotic Ocnerodrilus occidentalis and Pontoscolex corethrurus thrived, becoming the eudominant species. From the forest area to the mixed and homogenous plantations, the predicted decreasing diversity is evidenced by the lowering trend of Shannon’s diversity index. In conclusion, the land-use change into mixed plantations and annual croplands has reduced earthworm diversity in this region of Mount Gede, Indonesia.

The Lekok Coast is part of Pasuruan Regency which has various community activities. The condition of the waters is influenced by natural and anthropogenic factors which receive a lot of input loads from the mainland. These input load can come from human activities such as aquaculture, industry and domestic waste that enters through rivers and then empties into the coasts. These conditions can affect the fertility of eutrophic, mesotropic or oligotropic waters. This study aims to determine the conditions of the waters based on the abundance of phytoplankton and the physical and chemical parameters of the waters to see the fertility status of the waters. The descriptive method is the method used in this study and the determination of the sampling point uses the purposive sampling method, the research was conducted in April – May 2019. Based on the results of the abundance of phytoplankton in the coastal waters of Lekok, it is classified into waters that have oligotrophic fertility levels. The results of observations and measurements of physical and chemical parameters in the coastal waters of Lekok showed that several parameters that support the growth of phytoplankton are less than optimal, such as temperature, brightness and nitrogen elements.

Abstrak: Teritip merupakan salah satu hewan pengotor yang umum hidup menempel pada infrastruktur buatan manusia yang teredam di dalam perairan laut. Fenomena penempelan teritip mengakibatkan kerusakan struktur bangunan pada infrastruktur di perairan laut. Tujuan penelitian ini menginventarisasi  keberadaan jenis teritip yang menempel pada infrastruktur yang ada di area pantai yang berada di Teluk kunyit, Pantai Sariringgung dan Pantai Mutun sebagai langkah awal dalam pengendalian hewan pengotor. Penelitian dilakukan dengan metode survei selama bulan April and November 2018. Pada kedua Pantai Sariringgung dan Pantai Mutun ditemukan dua spesies teritip, Amphibalanus amphitrite dan Microeuraphia withersii. Namun, jenis teritip yang ditemukan di Teluk Kunyit hanya satu spesies Cthtamalus malayensis..Kata kunci: introduksi, biofouling, zona intertidal, Teluk Lampung.Abstract: Barnacle is the most common biofouling in the manmade  submerged structures. Barnacles are a serious problem which leading the detriment of coastal structures. The aim of the study was to  investigate the dataset of barnacale communities in Lampung shores, in order to monitor developing of biofouling. Three  coastal areas of Teluk Kunyit, Sariringgung and Mutun were investigated between April and November 2018. It was found that two species, Amphibalanus amphitrite and Microeuraphia withersii, are found in both costal areas. In contrast, only colonial species of Cthtamalus malayensis has been found abundance in Teluk kunyit area.Keywords: introduction, biofouling, intertidal zone, Lampung Bay
