PROFIL VEGETASI MANGROVE DESA SEBUBUS KECAMATAN PALOH KABUPATEN SAMBAS
ABSTRACT: The area of the
mangrove forest located in Sebubus Village is not supported by the data and
information that provide a description of the forest structure. This research
was carried out to find out the vertical and horizontal profile diagram of
mangrove vegetation in Sebubus Village, Paloh Sub-district, Sambas Regency, and
to find out the influence of the character of environmental factors (salinity,
pH, substrate and substrate texture) and mangrove forest zonation patterns.
This research was conducted for five months from January to May 2015 in Sebubus
Village, Paloh Sub-district, Sambas Regency. The data was collected by making
transects at three points. The transects were 30x10 meters in size. Each
transect had a sub-plot with the size of 10x10 meters. The observations and
measurements were conducted on the identification of tree species, tree height,
stem diameter, canopy width, and distance between each tree. The soil samples
were taken in each sub-plot to conduct the analysis of the pH value, salinity
and substrate structure. The research revealed that the mangrove species found
in the site were Brugueira cylindrica (L.) Bl., Brugueira gymnorhiza (L.) Lam.,
Rhizopora mucronata Lam. and Sonneratia alba Sm.. The zonation patterns formed
from the coast to inland were Sonneratia alba Sm., Rhizopora mucronata Lam.,
Brugueira cylindrica (L.) Bl., and Brugueira gymnorhiza (L.) Lam.. The trees
found can be categorized into 3 strata, i.e. 4-9 m, 10-15 m and 16-21 m.
