Akumulasi mikroplastik di lingkungan menimbulkan ancaman ekologis dan telah menjadi masalah serius dunia. Plastik terdistribusikan secara global lautan dunia tersebar kolom air, permukaan sepanjang garis pantai pada sedimen. Salah satu strategi untuk menghadapi pencemaran yaitu mencari agen pendegradasi berupa mikroba. Mikroba yang memiliki aktivitas terhadap polimer biasanya dapat diuji mendeg...

in recent years, mangrove forests with the high economical and environmental value are threatened with extinction by human activities. ex-situ conservation is an appropriate method to conservation this forest. this study was conducted with the purpose of studying the role of climatology factors as one of the most important environmental parameters in dispersion of mangrove forests of hormozgan ...

Mangroves play an important role in the storage of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) within estuarine systems, yet are being lost at an alarming rate throughout the tropics. In contrast, temperate mangroves have increased in area at many locations in recent decades. Field surveys, sediment sampling, allometry, and C and N analysis were used to determine total C and N stocks in five temperate Avicenni...

Detrital subsidies from marine macrophytes are prevalent in temperate estuaries, and their role in structuring benthic macrofaunal communities is well documented, but the resulting impact on ecosystem function is not understood. We conducted a field experiment to test the effects of detrital decay on soft-sediment primary production, community metabolism and nutrient regeneration (measures of e...
