Abstract
Mangroves are plant communities of the intertidal coastal zone in the tropics which are dominated by several species of trees or shrubs characteristic that is influenced by the tide. Mangrove tree species show various physiological and structural adaptations in response to the unfavourable environment - unstable substrate, water-logged anaerobic soil and salty external medium with low osmotic potential because different plant species have different responses to the unfavourable conditions. This study aimed to analyze the ecology and structure of mangrove vegetation in Musi estuarine waters and Banyuasin estuarine waters. The experiment was conducted in June to July 2014. Data was collected using transect method where the size of 10m x 10m for trees sampling, 5m x 5m for saplings and 1m x 1m for seedlings. Parameters for analysing aspects of the mangrove ecology are relative density, relative dominance, relative frequency, importance value of a species and water quality in soil (salinity, pH, temperature and soil) were collected from each site from a rooting depth of 10 cm. Mangroves are found in Musi estuarine waters as many as four species of mangroves, among others S. alba, A. marina, A. alba, and N. fruticans. In Banyuasin estuarine waters as many as five species of mangroves such as A. marina, So. alba, B. gymnorrhiza, R. mucronata and N. fruticans. The results showed that A.marina has the highest number of species and the highest importance value index of 300. The average water quality in soil mangroves were found 28-32 oC for temperature, pH 4.8-6.4 and salinity 0-28 ppt.
