The productivity of mangrove litterfall is the most important part of the transfer of organic materials from mangrove vegetation into the waters and soils. This research was conducted in July-August 2021 in three stations on mangrove ecosystem at Wasti Lake, Manokwari Regency. The purpose of this study was to determine the mangrove vegetation, litterfall production of Sonneratia alba, relation of Diameter at Breast High with litterfall production, and physical chemistry of the environment. The quadrant transect was used to sample mangrove vegetation and the litter trap to measure litter production. The results showed 5 types of mangroves, namely Sonneratia alba, Rhizophora stylosa, Rhizophora apiculata, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, and Bruguiera sexangua. The highest density values at each station was Sonneratia alba, namely 360 ind/ha, 540 ind/ha and 520 ind/ha with important value indexes are 268.08%, 255.59%, and 247.96%. The total litterfall production of Sonneratia alba during a period of 28 days was 79.19 gr/m². The highest litter contribution components came from leaves (87.6%), twigs (8.1%), and flowers (4.3%). Correlation and regression analysis showed a very strong positive relationship between DBH and litter production. The environmental parameter values for DO ranged from 6.2-8.4 mg/L, water temperature 28.7 – 35.6⁰C, pH ranged from 7.06 – 7.47, salinity 25 – 27.5, substrate pH 6.1 – 6.3, the air temperature is 29-32⁰C, and the humidity is 70-80%.
Numfor yang memiliki padang lamun beserta biota asosiasi di dalamnya. Sayangnya informasi terkait struktur komunitas beserta kondisi lingkungan perairan bivalvia di Pulau Meosmangguandi masih minim. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui struktur komunitas bivalvia di ekosistem lamun Pulau Meosmanggaundi. Pengambilan sampel pada bulan Agustus-September 2021 yang dilakukan pada dua stasiun pengamatan menggunakan metode garis transek dengan plot kuadran berukuran 50 x 50 cm. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat 9 spesies Bivalvia yaitu Anadara antiquata, Fragum unedo, Tellina remies, Pinna incurva, Dosinia dilecta, Malleus malleus, Spondylus candidus, Spondylus violaceus, dan Spondylus albibarbatus. Kelimpahan tertinggi pada stasiun pertama untuk jenis lamun Fragum unedo sebanyak 6,8 Ind/m 2 . Sementara stasiun kedua, kelimpahan tertinggi untuk jenis Spondylus albibartus sebanyak 4,4 Ind/m 2 . Pada habitat ini memiliki keragaman sedang dengan Indeks keanekaragaman Bivalvia di stasiun I dan stasiun II yaitu 1,68 dan 2,13. Indeks kemerataan pada dua stasiun memiliki indeks yang sama yaitu 0,97, termasuk dalam ketegori stabil. Indeks dominansi dan indeks kekayaan spesies terkategori rendah.
