AbstractSpyra A. Woodland ponds as an important habitat of Hippeutis complanatus (Linnaeus 1758) occurrence - effect of environmental factors and habitat preferences. Ekológia (Bratislava), Vol. 33, No. 2, p. 101-115, 2014.In industrial areas, woodland ponds are refuges of biological diversity. The impact of environmental factors such as the physico-chemical properties of water, organic matter content in bottom sediments and various types of substratum on the occurrence of Hippeutis complanatus were assessed. In Poland, it is considered to be a species with an established but unspecified risk, deserving the status of endangered species due to the decline of wetland environments. A Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) revealed associations between the distribution patterns of freshwater snails species and the concentration of nitrates (NO3) and calcium (Ca) as well as pH and the organic matter content in the bottom sediments. Based on statistical relationships, results of study suggest that the kind of substratum (Typha latifolia remains, Phragmites australis remains, fallen leaves of waterside trees) has an impact on the occurrence of freshwater snails including Hippeutis complanatus for which the preferred substratum is the fallen leaves of waterside trees and sites with a high content of organic matter in bottom sediments. The study has shown that isolated water bodies located in forest complexes can be refuges for species that occur in small numbers in other types of aquatic environments.

Sediment organic matter regulates the coastal biogeochemical cycle which is influenced by rainfall pattern and has potential relationship with organic carbon as well as mud characteristics. The objective of present research was to identify the impact of precipitation on the spatiotemporal variation inorganic features of intertidal mudflats. Three locations were selected in freshwater zone; two were in brackish water region and last three locations situated in marine waters from Halda to Salimpur coast. Two sites from each location were designated as the highest high tide level (onshore) and lowest low tide level (offshore) of the intertidal zone during winter (December to February) and monsoon (June to August) spanning between 2013 and 2014. Sediment organic matter and carbon were measured by combustion and Walkey-Black wet oxidation in turn. Average organic matter content in monsoon were found 4.5±0.03, 2.3±0.01 and 2.4 in freshwater, brackish and marine locations whereas 5.2±0.6, 3.9±0.14 and 5.4±0.04% investigated during winter. Precipitation pattern varies from different seasons and locations that have impact on land runoff, freshwater inflow, mixing and circulation. Mud dominated coastal intertidal zones represented high organic matter content than sand dominated coast. Furthermore, depositional pattern, transport, erosion-accretion processes, tidal action, wave characteristics and seasonal inconstancy control the organic matter characteristics in the coastal sediment. This research suggests the necessity of periodic observation of rainfall pattern and organic matter distribution to assess the intertidal deposits which support the stabilization of local geomorphology and biogeochemistry in Chittagong coastal region.Res.

This research was conducted in May 2018 in the waters of Teluk Buo, Padang, West Sumatra. The purpose of this study was to determine the environmental quality of the Teluk Buo waters, especially to determine the abundance of macrozoobenthos and determine the relationship between sediment organic matter and abundance of macrozoobenthos. The method used in this study is a survey method. The results of the study note that the waters of the Teluk Buo are included in the medium polluted criteria with a diversity index (H ') ranging from 2.18-3.43, dominance index (C) 0.10-0.32 and uniformity index (e) 0.51-0,78. Abundance ranges from 80-240 ind/m2 with the number of macrozoobenthos species found there are 9 species of gastropods and 5 species of bivalves. The relationship of sediment organic matter content to macrozoobenthos abundance was included in the moderate criteria with a correlation coefficient (r) -0.382.

An investigation was conducted to determine whether the variables, standing crop and sediment organic matter content, related to species richness patterns at the local level, varied at the landscape level in accordance with differences in lake watershed area. Previous study had demonstrated the importance of watershed area as a predictor of species richness of all herbs and of rarities, in particular, on lakeshores. In this study, the reciprocal of watershed area (log units) accounted for over 75% of the variation in biomass at above and below summer waterline positions. Furthermore, watershed area accounted for most of the variation in sediment organic matter content. Above the waterline, shrubs were the predominant growth form at lakes with small watershed areas; the reciprocal of watershed area accounted for 92% of shrub biomass variation. Shoreline plant communities on the lowest watershed area lake were high-biomass, shrub assemblages above waterline and low-biomass, graminoid communities below the waterline. In contrast, above the waterline but below the upper shrub zone on the high watershed area lake, shorelines supported low-biomass assemblages composed of a mixture of shrubs, graminoids, forbs, and ferns. The strong relationships found here between biomass and organic matter and lake watershed area reconcile predictive models made at the within-lake level with those made at the landscape level. Key words: watershed area, landscape models, species richness, community biomass, lakeshores.

Betahwalang is a coastal village located in Demak Regency. As a village located in a coastal area, the local population mostly relies on the fisheries sector sourced from sea products. Betahwalang Village has a Mangrove Ecosystem, which is included in the tidal river area of Betahwalang Village. This study aims to look at the comparison of organic matter levels in sediments during tidal and receding river water. Sampling in the field was conducted in March 2019. Sediment samples were taken from 5 stations divided into jetty, mangrove, estuary, and beach areas, where each station was repeated 3 times during high tide and low tide. Analysis of organic matter content of sediment samples using gravimetric methods and data analysis using Non-Parametric Kruskal-Wallis H. The results showed the highest levels of sediment organic matter at station 5 were 74.87 ± 1.81% (low tide) and 66.99 ± 0.38% (high tide) and the lowest sediment organic matter content. at station 4 were 31.56 ± 2.14% (low tide) and 26.93 ± 2.51% (high tide). These results indicate that the organic matter content in the sediment at low tide is higher than at high tide with results that are not significantly different (sig = 0.05).  Betahwalang adalah desa pesisir yang terletak di Kabupaten Demak. Sebagai desa yang terletak di wilayah pesisir, penduduk setempat sebagian besar mengandalkan sektor perikanan yang bersumber dari hasil laut. Desa Betahwalang memiliki Ekosistem Mangrove yang termasuk dalam wilayah sungai pasang surut di Desa Betahwalang. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk melihat kondisi perairan sungai Betahwalang ditinjau dari kandungan bahan organik dalam sedimen selama pasang dan surut. Pengambilan sampel di lapangan dilakukan pada bulan Maret 2019. Sampel sedimen diambil dari 5 stasiun yang dibagi menjadi area dermaga, mangrove, muara dan pantai, di mana setiap stasiun diulang 3 kali selama pasang dan surut. Analisis kandungan bahan organik sampel sedimen menggunakan metode gravimetri, dan analisis data menggunakan Non-Parametrik Kruskal-Wallis H. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kadar bahan organik sedimen tertinggi di stasiun 5 sebesar 74,87 ± 1,81% (air surut) dan 66,99 ± 0,38 % (air pasang) dan  kandungan bahan organik sedimen terendah. di stasiun 4 sebesar 31,56 ± 2,14 % (air surut) dan 26,93 ± 2,51% (air pasang). Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa kandungan bahan organik dalam sedimen pada saat air surut lebih tinggi daripada saat air pasang dengan hasil yang tidak berbeda nyata (sig=0,05).
