Tree branches are important as they support the canopy, which controls photosynthetic carbon gain and determines ecological interactions such as competition with neighbours. Mangrove trees are subject to high wind speeds, strong tidal flows and waves that can damage their branches. The survival and establishment of mangroves partly depend on the structural and mechanical characteristics of their branches. In addition, mangroves are exposed to soils that vary in salinity. Highly saline conditions can increase the tension in the water column, imposing mechanical stresses on the xylem vessels. Here, we investigated how mechanical strength, assessed as the modulus of elasticity (MOE) and the modulus of rupture (MOR), and density relate to the anatomical characteristics of intact mangrove branches from southeast Queensland and whether the mechanical strength of branches varies among mangrove species. Mechanical strength was positively correlated with density of mangrove intact branches. Mechanical strength (MOE) varied among species, with Avicennia marina (Forssk.) Vierh. branches having the highest mechanical strength (2079 ± 176 MPa), and Rhizophora stylosa Griff. and Bruguiera gymnorrhiza (L.) Savigny ex Lam. and Poiret having the lowest mechanical strength (536.8 ± 39.2 MPa in R. stylosa and 554 ± 58.2 MPa in B. gymnorrhiza). High levels of mechanical strength were associated with reductions in xylem vessel lumen area, pith content and bark content, and positively associated with increases in fibre wall thickness. The associations between mechanical strength and anatomical characteristics in mangrove branches suggest trade-offs between mechanical strength and water supply, which are linked to tree growth and survival.

This research was conducted to determine the condition of the mangrove ecosystem based on its canopy cover and to determine the types of mollusks (Bivalves and Gastropods) associated with the Benoa Bay mangrove ecosystem. Hemispherical photography is a method for observing mangrove canopy cover and line transect method for mollusks. The composition of mangrove species found in the research location were five species, namely Rhizophora stylosa, Rhizophora mucronata, Rhizophora apiculata, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, and Avicennia marina. The percentage of mangrove canopy cover in the Benoa Bay mangrove ecosystem is in a good category (average = 76.59%). There are eight types of mollusks found in the research location. There are two types of bivalves (Polymesoda bengalensis and Gafrarium pectinatum) and six types of gastropods (Nerita balteata, Nerita picea, Neritina turrita, Pila ampullacea, Cassidula aurisfelis, and Littoraria melanostoma). The relationship between the percentage of mangrove canopy cover and abundance of mollusks in the Benoa Bay mangrove ecosystem is very strong (r) of 0.920. The higher the percentage value of mangrove canopy cover, the higher the mollusks abundance.

Abstract. Hilmi E, Sari LK, Cahyo TN, Muslih, Mahdiana A, Samudra SR. 2021. The affinity of mangrove species using Association and Cluster Index in North Coast of Jakarta and Segara Anakan of Cilacap, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 22: 2907-2920. The affinity of mangrove species using association and cluster index describe relationship among mangrove species. The species association and clustering explain the degree of utilization of resources and space by mangrove species. The association and cluster also describe specific species adaptation in mangrove ecosystems. This paper was aimed to analyze species affinity using association and clustering index of mangrove species. The association index used Chi-square equation and the clustered index used Euclidian distance analysis. The results showed that (i) mangrove density in Segara Anakan (166-4000 trees ha-1) > North Jakarta (220-1100 trees ha-1). (ii) Nypa fruticans, Avicennia marina, Rhizophora stylosa and Rhizophora apiculata dominated in Segara Anakan of Cilacap, and Rhizophora stylosa and Avicennia marina dominated in North Jakarta (iii) The association index had 12 pairs of negative species association and 17 pairs of positive species association, but most of mangrove vegetations had no association. (iv) mangrove ecosystem in Segara Anakan and North Jakarta had four clusters with Euclidean distance (ED score) 484 to describe cluster between Bruguiera parviflora-Bruguiera sexangula until 76430847 to describe cluster among Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, Bruguiera parviflora, Ceriops decandra, Exoecaria agallocha, Nypa fruticans, Ceriops tagal, Rhizophora stylosa, and Sonneratia caseolaris

Mangrove communities in the tropical north of Australia are some of the most species rich in the world, yet surprisingly little is known of their reproductive and vegetative phenology. This study investigated the phenology of four mangrove species: Avicennia marina (Forsk.) Vierh., Ceriops australis (C.T.White) Ballment, T.J.Sm & Stoddart, Rhizophora stylosa Griff. and Sonneratia alba J.Smith, in Darwin Harbour over 24 months. Investigations included documenting the flowering and fruiting phenology, periods of leaf flush and leaf longevity. Flowering in these mangroves generally occurred during the dry season (June–October), with the exception of R. stylosa in which flowering occurred in the middle of the wet (December–February). Fruits and propagules were released in the dry and ‘build up’ periods (August–November), with the exception of A. marina, which released propagules in the middle of the wet season. Fruit and/or propagule maturation took less than 2 months in A. marina and S. alba, whereas in C. australis and R. stylosa maturation took 12 and 11 months, respectively. Timing of new leaf production generally coincided with the wet season, after the flowering and fruiting periods of each of the four species. Periods of leaf flush and leaf fall were often closely linked, and species with longer-lived leaves produced fewer leaves at each period of leaf flush. Maximum leaf longevity varied considerably among mangroves, ranging from 8 months in the lower canopy of S. alba to more than 24 months in C. australis. There was also large variability in leaf longevity among different regions of the canopy, with shade leaves generally living longer than sun leaves, and leaves in the upper canopy (3–7 m) longer than those in the lower regions (0–3 m).

Mangroves as coastal green belts have distribution in each coastal district. One of the mangrove distribution locations on the coast of Jepara is in the village of Bumiharjo, Keling district. Identification of the potential land area and the distribution of mangroves is an effort to determine the potential of coastal resources. The research method used is an overlay RBI map and satellite map Landsat 8 to determine the location and extent of the distribution of mangroves in research locations. Subsequently carried out an investigation of mangrove ecology with a Field Survey (Ground Truth) to determine the distribution and abundance of mangroves. The results showed that the mangrove forest in the study area was 4.75 Ha. The results of the identification of the composition of mangrove species were found as many as 6 species of mangroves, namely: Avicennia marina, Rhizophora apiculata, Rhizophora stylosa, Rhizophora mucronata, Soneratia alba, and Soneratia muconata. the average density of mangrove vegetation ranges between 4000 - 10,000 individuals/ha. Mangrove stand has a stem height of 5-6 meters. the diameter of the stem is between 4.3 - 5.0 cm. Mangrove density is dominated by Rizophora mucronata. with the most dominant density is the seedling (Sapling). This shows that the mangroves on the coast of the Jepara district are replanted mangrove species. (rehabilitation).
