The distribution of vertical leaves and leaves biomass on ten mangrove species at Ngurah Rai Forest Park, Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia

Abstract

Ardhana IPG, Rimbawan IMGS., Cahyo PN, Fitriani Y, Rohani S. 2018. The distribution of vertical leaves and leaves biomass on ten mangrove species at Ngurah Rai Forest Park, Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 19: 918-926. The distribution of vertical leaves and leaves biomass which forms the mangrove crown divides into three parts, namely the top part, the middle part, and the bottom part. Total amount leaves on any parts are highly variable depending on height of each species. The relationship between the height of tree with the crown thickness depended on total leaves of each crown on each species as well as the relationship between the total leaves biomass of each crown on each species, with the height and volume of tree stems, also has variation on each mangrove species. Author examined the relationship between the photosynthetic organs with non-photosynthetic organs, especially on stems in each species. The high total amount of leaves and large total amount leaves biomass deeply is depended on diameter and growth height which are presented in the form of stem volumes. On the relationship between the photosynthetic organs and non-photosynthetic organs on each mangrove species, also has been examined. The higher total amount of leaves or the total amount of leaves biomass largely depended on the stem volume of mangroves. This indicates that the production of photosynthetic organ either in the form of the total amount of leaves or the total amount of leaves biomass serve to support growth of the stem mangrove trees (height of stem, diameter of stem and volume of stem).

The physical carrying capacity of mangrove ecotourism in Blanakan, Subang Regency, West Java, Indonesia

“…The physical function of the mangrove are keep stable the coastline, protect the river cliffs from the erosion or abrasion, holding or absorbing strong winds from the sea to land [4,5]. The social-economic funtions of the Mangroves are source of foreign exchange, both for society industry, and the country [6,7]. Because of the mangrove benefits, it can be vulnerable to occur the environment degradation [8].…”

“…It, however, differs from the loop-root mangrove (Rhizophora mucronata), which has a bark composed of peeling strips and shows a greater wood density (c. 0.79 g.cm −3 ) (IDEAS Consultancy Services, 2013: tab. 2; Ardhana et al, 2018: tab. 1)-working wood from the latter taxa did not have been experimented so far.…”

Effects of Ecological Restoration of Mangrove Wetlands Using Native Mangrove Species to <i>Replace Spartina alterniflora</i>: A Case Study in Southern China

“…Since most one-year stands of R. stylosa in Beibu Gulf are within one-meter height, most allometric equations using the diameter at breast height (DBH) are not applicable in the present study. As a result, the above-ground biomass (AGB) of R. stylosa was calculated using an empirical formula with the help of D 0.3 [59] [60], where the wood density of R. stylosa is recorded as 0.91 g/m 3 [61]:…”
