type: item
description: Abstract. Ramadhani G, Wahyuningtyas J, Arifiandita DM, Ayuningtyas HR, Ashila J, Yap CK, Setyawan AD. 2025. Multidimensional sustainability assessment of mangrove forests in the Segara Anakan Lagoon, Central Java, Indonesia. Intl J Bonorowo Wetlands 15: 71-85. Mangrove ecosystems play a crucial role in supporting biodiversity, coastal protection, and community livelihoods in tropical regions, yet they remain vulnerable to multidimensional pressures. This study assesses the sustainability of mangrove forests in the Segara Anakan Lagoon, Central Java, Indonesia, using a modified Rapfish framework based on Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) across four dimensions: ecological, economic, socio-cultural, and institutional. Data were collected from 115 households in three coastal villages—Ujunggagak, Klaces, and Ujungalang—through structured surveys and field observations. Results show that while the ecological (55.99) and institutional (58.89) dimensions are moderately sustainable, the socio-cultural (42.79) and economic (27.74) aspects remain fairly unsustainable. Leverage analysis identified key sensitive attributes, including salinity regulation, livelihood diversification, community participation, and governance presence. Monte Carlo simulation confirmed model robustness, with an average deviation of only 0.67% across dimensions. The study highlights the imbalance among sustainability dimensions and emphasizes the importance of targeted interventions based on leverage points. These findings offer a practical roadmap for policymakers and coastal managers to enhance integrated mangrove management, potentially leading to significant improvements in the sustainability of mangrove ecosystems. The methodological approach also demonstrates the applicability of the Rapfish tool in complex socio-ecological systems, particularly in data-limited, community-based conservation settings.

Wildlife encroachment and local coping strategies in Kampung Laut mangrove villages, Indonesia
type: item
description: Abstract. Azzam AK, Agustina AT, Maulana FA, De Wela SM, Lailasari M, Sugiyarto, Buot Jr. IE, Setyawan AD. 2025. Wildlife encroachment and local coping strategies in Kampung Laut mangrove villages, Indonesia. Intl J Bonorowo Wetlands 15: 61-70. Human-wildlife conflict (HWC) is an escalating concern in tropical coastal regions, where expanding settlements and agricultural activities increasingly overlap with wildlife habitats. This study examines the types, frequency, impacts, and community responses to wildlife disturbances in three mangrove-edge villages—Ujunggagak, Klaces, and Ujungalang—within Kampung Laut Sub-district, Cilacap, Indonesia. Using semi-structured interviews with 93 respondents, the research employed descriptive statistics and spatial comparisons to analyze patterns of conflict. Wild boars (Sus scrofa), rats (Rattus spp.), and monitor lizards (Varanus salvator) were identified as the most problematic species, frequently damaging crops and livestock and occasionally threatening human safety. Conflict intensity was highest in Klaces Village and peaked during the dry season. Local responses varied from passive tolerance and non-lethal deterrents to more aggressive measures, including poisoning and hunting. Response choices were influenced by gender, occupation, and prior experience. Although external support was limited, communities demonstrated adaptive strategies grounded in traditional knowledge. Nonetheless, the use of harmful methods such as indiscriminate poisoning remains a critical concern. These findings highlight the urgent need for community-based mitigation approaches that are ecologically sustainable and culturally appropriate. Strengthening local awareness, early warning systems, and participatory wildlife monitoring is essential to promote coexistence and biodiversity conservation in mangrove-dependent communities.

Spatial and temporal dynamics of mangrove cover change in five estuaries along the North Coast of Central Java, Indonesia (2014-2024)
type: item
description: Abstract. Candraningtyas CF, Hafiffah AS, Widowati D, Mardiyanto MB, Saputri AB, Setyawan AD. 2024. Spatial and temporal dynamics of mangrove cover change in five estuaries along the North Coast of Central Java, Indonesia (2014-2024). Intl J Bonorowo Wetlands 15: 40-48. Mangrove ecosystems are critical coastal habitats that provide essential ecological services, including shoreline protection, carbon sequestration, and biodiversity support, yet they are increasingly threatened by anthropogenic pressures. This study investigates spatial and temporal changes in mangrove cover from 2014 to 2024 across five estuaries along the north coast of Central Java, Indonesia—Sriwulan, Pemali, Comal, Bodri, and Cisanggarung—using Landsat 8 satellite imagery processed via Google Earth Engine and ArcGIS. Mangrove extents were manually digitized and classified into zones of loss, gain, and stability, with field surveys and photographic documentation employed for validation. Results revealed significant mangrove loss in Sriwulan (-47.03%), Cisanggarung (-50.00%), Comal (-11.31%), and Bodri (-1.59%), driven by land conversion for aquaculture and settlements, destructive fishing practices, and hydrological disruptions. In contrast, the Pemali Estuary exhibited a notable 79.83% increase in mangrove cover, primarily due to sediment accretion and community-led restoration efforts, especially silvofishery-based rehabilitation. The study demonstrates that integrating remote sensing with ground truthing is a robust approach for monitoring mangrove dynamics and identifying localized drivers of change. The contrasting trends across estuaries highlight the heterogeneity of coastal ecosystem responses and underscore the importance of site-specific management strategies. While some estuaries face continued degradation, others show promising signs of recovery, illustrating both the challenges and potential in mangrove conservation. These findings emphasize the urgent need for adaptive coastal manag…

type: item
description: Abstract. Taqwim MHA, Mardiyanto MB, Wijayanti M, Wardha’adhlina WA, Putra YM, Mahajoeno E, Indrawan M, Yap CK, Setyawan AD. 2025. Aquatic insect diversity and spatial distribution in a tropical reservoir ecosystem of Kedungombo, Central Java, Indonesia. Intl J Bonorowo Wetlands 15: 40-48. Aquatic insects are essential components of freshwater ecosystems, functioning as bioindicators and key players in trophic interactions. This study evaluated the species richness, spatial distribution, and ecological roles of aquatic and semi-aquatic insects across three distinct habitat types—forested margins, rice field edges, and open unvegetated shores—within the Kedungombo Reservoir, Central Java, Indonesia. Sampling was carried out during the dry season (September–October 2024) using purposive random sampling and hand net techniques. A total of 16 species representing 4 insect orders and 13 families were identified, with dominant taxa including Culex tritaeniorhynchus, Diplonychus rusticus, Paederus fuscipes, and Chironomus striatipennis. Species richness and diversity indices (Shannon–Wiener, Pielou’s evenness, and Margalef’s richness) varied significantly across habitats, with the rice field edge (Station 2) exhibiting the highest diversity. Predatory insects were the most prevalent functional group, followed by detritivores and generalist omnivores. Several species showed station-specific occurrence, suggesting narrow habitat preferences and potential as ecological indicators. The open shoreline habitat had the lowest richness and was dominated by disturbance-tolerant taxa, while shaded and vegetated zones supported more diverse and specialized assemblages. These findings underscore the ecological significance of microhabitat heterogeneity in maintaining aquatic insect communities within artificial lentic systems. Conservation and management strategies for tropical reservoirs should prioritize habitat complexity and buffer zones to sustain insect-mediated ecosystem functi…

Diversity of aquatic and riparian macrophytes in oxbow streams of the upper Bengawan Solo River, Central Java, Indonesia
type: item
description: Abstract. Rahmawati D, Zahrani D, Naafi DA, Putri DS, Safira RN, Dewangga A, Setyawan AD. 2025. Diversity of aquatic and riparian macrophytes in oxbow streams of the upper Bengawan Solo River, Central Java, Indonesia. Intl J Bonorowo Wetlands 15: 28-39. Oxbow streams represent dynamic transitional habitats that support diverse aquatic and riparian plant communities. This study investigates the diversity and ecological structure of aquatic and riparian macrophytes in three oxbow streams of the upper Bengawan Solo River, Central Java, Indonesia. A total of 45 species representing 25 families were identified, dominated by amphibious and riparian life forms. Species richness and life form composition varied across sites, reflecting differences in hydrology and habitat heterogeneity. Diversity indices showed the highest richness and evenness in Sidowarno, while Kadokan exhibited lower richness but relatively balanced species distribution. The Importance Value Index (IVI) revealed site-specific dominance by taxa such as Ipomoea aquatica, Commelina diffusa, and Marsilea crenata. Several of these structurally dominant species, including Eichhornia crassipes and Colocasia esculenta, are also recognized as bioaccumulators of heavy metals, highlighting their functional relevance for phytoremediation. Moderate inter-site similarity values (Jaccard index 0.45-0.58) suggest that each oxbow supports a partially distinct macrophyte community. These findings underscore the importance of conserving multiple oxbow units as complementary reservoirs of biodiversity and ecological function in tropical river-floodplain systems.

description: Abstract. Santika YE, Arlysia V, Astuti AR, Putri DS, Puspitosari A, Budiharta S, Yap CK, Setyawan AD. 2025. Spatial assessment of ecotourism potential in the mangrove area of Ujungalang Village, Cilacap District, Central Java, Indonesia. Intl J Bonorowo Wetlands 15: 7-19. Mangrove ecosystem, with its diverse ecological and economic functions, is a vital provider of ecosystem services that benefit coastal communities, including the potential for ecotourism development, which is considered as win-win solution for conservation and sustainable utilization of natural resources. Ujungalang Village, located in Kampung Laut Sub-district, Cilacap District, Central Java, is one area with significant mangrove potential that can be developed as an ecotourism destination. This study aims to identify potential mangrove ecotourism locations in Ujungalang Village and analyze the physical and social conditions that support the development of mangrove ecotourism in the region. The research was conducted using a quantitative method with a spatial approach, employing Geographic Information System tools and remote sensing data. The spatial analysis technique utilized is overlay, involving scoring and weighting several factors influencing ecotourism potential including slope, temperature, land use, conservation status, population density, elevation, as well as facilities and infrastructure. The study results show that the Ecotourism Potential Index of Ujungalang Village ranges from 3.03 to 156.16, which can be divided into three categories: non-potential, with values of 3.03-33.66 (174.02 ha); low potential, with values of 33.67-64.30 (1,292.52 ha); and highly potential, with values of 125.59-156.16 (5,290.43 ha). The findings of this study can assist tourism planners and government authorities in identifying appropriate locations for ecotourism development, instilling a sense of optimism and hope.

description: Abstract. Punong A, Pentason J, Amores A. 2025. Diversity and morphometry of mangrove species and it’s relation to environmental factors in Tagum City, Davao del Norte, Philippines. Intl J Bonorowo Wetlands 15: 20-27. Mangroves are a vital component of sustainable marine ecosystems, providing numerous ecosystem services that promote coastal protection, biodiversity conservation, carbon sequestration, and water quality improvement. This study focuses on the mangrove species found in Sitio Cabugan, Barangay Busaon, Tagum City, Davao del Norte, Philippines. Result shows that there were seven species in the studied area namely, Avicennia marina, Nypa fruticans, Bruguiera gymnorhiza, Rhizophora mucronata, Rhizophora apiculata, Sonneratia alba, and Avicennia rumphiana. Avicennia marina had the highest population, with a total of 567, a relative abundance of 70.79% and a cumulative distribution of 74.51, while A. rumphiana had the lowest number with only two individuals and a relative abundance of 0.25% with a cumulative distribution of 74.77. Moreover, it revealed poor species diversity and uneven distribution across the sampling stations. Environmental factors such as water temperature, salinity, and pH were within the normal range for growth and development, with station-specific variations influencing species distribution. Trunk size plays a significant role in structuring site-species interactions, indicating favorable environmental conditions to particular species. Sonneratia alba, R. mucronata, and A. marina showed a preference for stable environments, while B. gymnorhiza and N. fruticans demonstrate adaptability to contrasting conditions. This research underscores the need for conservation strategies and ongoing monitoring to ensure mangrove ecosystem stability and biodiversity preservation.

Impact of distance from the water body on the point of zero charge of Dutsin-Ma Dam floodplain soils, Katsina State, Nigeria
type: item
description: Abstract. Abdulkadir A, Manne IZ, Sani S. 2025. Impact of distance from the water body on the point of zero charge of Dutsin-Ma Dam floodplain soils, Katsina State, Nigeria. Intl J Bonorowo Wetlands 15: 1-6. This study investigates the point of zero charge (ZPC) and its influence on soil chemical properties in the floodplain around the Dutsin-Ma Dam. The report rigorously examines how proximity to the dam influences critical soil parameters such as pH changes (?pH), ZPC, and surface potential (?0) across three zones: Onshore, Mid-shore, and Offshore. Soil samples from these three zones were meticulously analyzed to assess variations in these parameters, which are vital for understanding soil fertility and nutrient availability. The results show that ?pH decreases with increasing distance from the dam, indicating reduced pH fluctuation in offshore soils. ZPC values increase from onshore to offshore, suggesting that soils farther from the dam reach zero net charge at higher pH levels. Additionally, the surface potential (?0) becomes increasingly negative with distance from the dam, indicating a lower offshore cation exchange capacity (CEC). These findings underscore the significant influence of dam proximity on soil chemical properties, which has practical implications for soil management and agricultural practices. Understanding ZPC and related parameters is essential for optimizing soil fertility and promoting sustainability in floodplain environments. This research provides actionable insights that can empower practitioners to improve agricultural practices and long-term soil health in regions impacted by dam-induced flooding.

description: Abstract. Priyadarshana PHMGC, Vijethilaka ULNL, Fernando MT, Paranagama SD. 2024. Freshwater fish diversity and habitat assessment with a focus on Pethia reval in Pusweli Oya, Kelani River Basin, Sri Lanka. Intl J Bonorowo Wetlands 14: 105-111. The Pusweli Oya, a tributary in the Kelani River Basin was investigated preliminary to assess the freshwater fish diversity with a particular focus on the endangered endemic species Pethia reval. This study highlights the urgent need for conservation actions to protect these unique ecosystems. Five distinct sites were selected for the study, and sampling was conducted from August to October 2024 using snorkeling, hand nets, and trawl nets complemented by measurements of physio-chemical parameters, including temperature, pH, and flow rate with anthropogenic activities. A total of 29 freshwater fish species were recorded, representing eight orders and 12 families, with Cyprinidae being the most dominant family. Among these, 10 species were endemic, highlighting the area's ecological importance. Pethia reval was recorded at most of the selected sampling sites but was absent in one sampling site, which displayed a lower pH and increased anthropogenic activities than other sites. These conditions and the presence of aquatic plants likely impacted the species' distribution, emphasizing its sensitivity to habitat disturbances. Findings reveal that sites with stable water quality and minimal anthropogenic influence are essential for sustaining diverse fish populations and conserving P. reval and other endemics. This research underscores the need for immediate area-based conservation actions to mitigate human impacts and maintain ecological balance within the Kelani River basin. Those area-based conservation activities will contribute to broader conservation throughout the country with a special focus on range-restricted and nationally important freshwater fish fauna on the island. Future studies should focus on longitudinal assessme…

Diversity of Ficus (Moraceae) along the riparian zone of Samin River, Central Java, Indonesia
type: item
description: Abstract. Kusuma AN, Zaky FA, Pribady TR, Agustin YS, Nugroho GD, Dewangga A, Setyawan AD. 2024. Diversity of Ficus (Moraceae) along the riparian zone of Samin River, Central Java, Indonesia. Intl J Bonorowo Wetlands 14: 96-104. Riparian vegetation plays an immense role in maintaining the hydrological and ecological functions of a river. One eminent vegetation species with great importance in riparian zone is the group of Ficus or figs. Many Ficus species occur in riparian ecosystems including in the Samin River, which stretches from Karanganyar to Sukoharjo Districts, Central Java, Indonesia and empties into the Bengawan Solo River. This study aimed to determine the diversity of Ficus along the riparian zone of Samin River from the upstream to the downstream. Data collection used a survey method at six stations by cruising a path with length of 1 km at each station and observing the right and left side of the river with a radius of 5-10 meters. All Ficus species, abiotic factors, altitude, and coordinates of the location point were recorded. Data was analysed to calculate Shannon-Weiner diversity index (H'), Evenness index (E) and Margalef species richness index (R). The results of the study documented 7 Ficus species, namely F. racemosa (34 individuals), F. septica (32 individuals), F. fistulosa (22 individuals), F. benjamina (11 individuals), F. elastica (1 individual), F. microcarpa (1 individual) and F. virens (1 individual). Species diversity index, evenness index and richness index at the upstream, middlestream and downstream sections ranged 0.54-0.88 (low diversity), 0.41-0.80 (uneven-almost even), and 0.52-0.61 (low richness), respectively. Ficus in the Samin River occurred in the habitat with air temperature of 21-38.4°C, humidity of 73-97%, and soil pH of 7-7.2. The findings of this study imply that riparian zone along the Samin River comprises a considerable diversity of Ficus which can maintain river sustainability.

description: Abstract. Reza AD, Mahendra AS, Riadi AA, Aryanto AEP, Agustin HN, Dewangga A, Indrawan M, Dadiono MS, Setyawan AD. 2024. Diversity of gastropods (Animalia: Mollusca) in the upper Bengawan Solo River, Central Java, Indonesia: Native versus alien species. Intl J Bonorowo Wetlands 14: 83-95. Bengawan Solo River in Java Island, Indonesia, is important habitat for aquatic organisms, one of which is gastropods. However, there is indication of the presence of invasive alien gastropods in this river, which might pose threat to native species. This study aimed to identify the diversity of gastropod species in the upper Bengawan Solo River, Central Java, Indonesia and assess the presence of invasive species measured. Data collection was conducted in December 2023 at five stations representing varying habitat conditions. Data was collected using the transect plot method and analyzed by calculating the Shannon-Wiener index, Simpson's dominance index and density. The invasive status of species was determined based on literature studies. The study revealed 23 gastropod species from 9 families. There were 16 invasive species found, including Tarebia granifera, Sulcospira testudinaria, Faunus ater, Achatina immaculata, Pomacea canaliculata, Sermyla riquetii, Limicolaria flammea, Littorina littorea, Perpolita hammonis, Viviparus glacialis, Viviparus viviparus, Viviparus intertextus, Semisulcospira libertina, Brotia costula, Zebrina detrita, and Melanoides tuberculata. There were 7 native species found, namely Pila scutata, Pila ampullacea, Filopaludina javanica, Stenomelania punctata, Stenomelania denisoniensis, Cipangopaludina chinensis and Acavus phoenix. The level of diversity of gastropod species in the upper Bengawan Solo River was in the medium category while the dominance index was low, indicating that there was no dominant gastropod in the upper Bengawan Solo River. Some invasive gastropod species had high density compared to other species, implying a threat to the native o…

description: Abstract. Agidie A, Wondie A, Beneberu G. 2024. The status of wetlands in seasonally flooded plains in eastern part of Lake Tana, Ethiopia. Intl J Bonorowo Wetlands 14: 74-82. Understanding the challenges and conditions of wetland ecosystems has become more critical. Wetland area coverage has gone through dramatic change, and multiple anthropogenic and natural processes threaten it ever so now. To this end, the study aims to evaluate the changes in wetland area coverage from 1990 to 2022, assess their current status based on multi-influencing factors, and analyze the drivers and pressures within a Driving-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) framework. Data were gathered through transect walks, focus group discussions, key informant interviews, and household surveys. The wetland area's land cover change was examined using the Landsat photos retrieved from Google Earth Engine. The result indicated that wetlands were lost at a higher rate, from 0.55 to 0.17%, while cultivated land expansion has substantially increased from 87.35 to 89.71%, respectively. The primary reason for the area's changing land cover was the population's explosive growth. Decreased production, the loss of biodiversity, and land scarcity were the main drivers. To encourage soil and water conservation, farmers must be trained in sustainable land management techniques, native vegetation plantation, and the restoration of wetlands and riverbanks through thoughtful land use planning.

description: Abstract. Fahlefi AR, Prasetya KN, Firdhausi NF, Bahri S. 2024. Diversity of butterfly species (Order: Lepidoptera) in riparian ecosystems of Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park, Indonesia. Intl J Bonorowo Wetlands 14: 66-73. The existence of Bromo Tengger Semeru National (BTSN) Park, Indonesia is of utmost importance, as the function of the national park is to manage, convert, and preserve all flora and fauna and protect all ecosystems within the National Park Area. Forest fires have unfortunately occurred in Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park, leading to the destruction of several areas and causing habitat loss for various species, such as butterflies. This study, therefore, holds significant value as it aims to identify and analyze the diversity of butterfly species (Order: Lepidoptera) in BTSN Park Area, Indonesia, using the transect method combined with the Visual Encounter Survey method. The research location was divided into five locations: Ireng-ireng Area, Ranu Pani, Ranu Regulo, Ranu Darungan, and Trisula Riverbank; the measurement of factors supporting the presence of butterflies, such as temperature, humidity, and light intensity. Based on the research conducted, 46 butterfly species were found, with a total of 465 individuals from 5 families. Of the 46 species, 9 species were found to be endemic species and protected species. To determine the value of butterfly species diversity, it is calculated using the Shannon-Wiener diversity index. The results of the index analysis obtained from the five locations are: (Location 1) diversity index H'=3.32, (Location 2) diversity index H'=1.21, (Location 3) diversity index H'=1.39, (Location 4) diversity index H'=1.91, (Location 5) diversity index H'=2.55. These findings are crucial for understanding and conserving the biodiversity of this unique national park.

Morphological identification of mosquito species in Takur Adu'a and Yakasai, Dutse Local Government Area, Jigawa State, Nigeria. Intl J Bonorowo Wetlands 14: 57-65. Mosquitoes, major vectors for various diseases, pose significant public health challenges worldwide. This study focuses on identifying and analyzing mosquito species in Takur Adu’a and Yakasai Areas of Jigawa State, Nigeria. Located in Northwestern Nigeria with Dutse as its capital, Jigawa State borders Kano, Katsina, Bauchi, Yobe, and the Zinder Region in Niger, facilitating cross-border trade. The major tribes are Hausa, Fulani, and Kanuri. Mosquito collection was conducted early in the morning using a prepared environment and spraying method. Morphological identification of differentiating species of mosquito are by palps, proboscis, wing patterns, body shape, and resting positions. In Takur Adu'a and Yakasai, a total of 449 mosquitoes were collected, 278 from Takur Adu'a and 171 from Yakasai. Aedes species included 21 females and 29 males; Culex had 82 females and 52 males; Anopheles had 35 females and 24 males; Anopheles gambiae had 7 females and 4 males; and non A. gambiae had 8 females and 16 males. Culex mosquitoes were the most dominant, followed by Aedes and Anopheles, with 71.2% being fed, indicating significant feeding activity and potential disease transmission.

Modeling the future distributions of Centropus bengalensis (Lesser coucal) in Muara Gembong Wetlands, West Java, Indonesia, related to CMIP5 climate change scenarios
type: item
description: Abstract. Wibowo AA, Meylani V, Pratiwi NA, Febriani DN, Suryawati NN. 2024. Modeling the future distributions of Centropus bengalensis (Lesser coucal) in Muara Gembong Wetlands, West Java, Indonesia, related to CMIP5 climate change scenarios. Intl J Bonorowo Wetlands 14: 49-56. Wetlands and their water birds have been threatened recently due to climate change. In West Java, Muara Gembong is a threatened wetland along with lesser coucal (Centropus bengalensis, Gmelin 1788). This study aimed to model and forecast the distribution of Lesser coucal in the remaining wetland habitats to support species conservation. The novelty of this study is that it uses future Species Distribution Modeling (SDM) based on climate change scenarios. Modeling was performed based on SDM using R platforms incorporating 19 bioclimatic variables. The climate change scenarios used trajectories based on the 5th Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) using RCP 2.6 and RCP 8.5 trajectories for 2050 and 2070. A multicollinearity test was performed, and the coucal occurrences were recorded at five sampling points. The results show climate change scenarios will significantly alter the suitable habitats for coucal, and the Area Under the Curve (AUC) is 0.75. The distribution of the species is mostly affected by isothermality (Bio 3), temperature annual range (Bio 7), and precipitation seasonality (Bio 15). In the low emission scenario, or RCP 2.6, from 2050 to 2070, it is predicted that the suitable habitats for coucals will be increased and expanded to the east and the north in coastal areas. Habitats classified in 2050 as less suitable will become moderately suitable in 2070 under the RCP 2.6 scenario. This condition is contrary to the high emission scenario under RCP 8.5. In this scenario, the habitats with high suitability only increased slightly. At the same time, and opposite to the low emission scenario, the RCP 8.5 scenario will cause moderately suitable habitats to become less suitabl…

Invasive and non-invasive macro aquatic plants in the Upper Bengawan Solo River, Indonesia
type: item
description: Abstract. Pramono CL, Alyodya DA, Restuti EJ, Meilani F, Sholiqin M, Yap CK, Setyawan AD. 2024. Invasive and non-invasive macro aquatic plants in the Upper Bengawan Solo River, Indonesia. Intl J Bonorowo Wetlands 14: 37-48. Macrophytes or aquatic plants are plants that have habitats in water. The uncontrolled growth of macrophytes causes the invasion of alien plant species in the Bengawan Solo River, Indonesia. This study aimed to identify the diversity of invasive and non-invasive macrophytes in the upstream, midstream and downstream of Bengawan Solo River. The methods used were a combination of cruising survey and purposive sampling using line transects. Vegetation data was collected in December 2023 and subject to the analysis of the Shannon-Wiener Species Diversity Index, Simpson Diversity Index, Evenness Index, and Margalef Species Richness Index. The results showed there were 23 macrophyte species with 2,391 individuals spread across three observation stations. There were two types of growth, i.e., free-floating and emergent growth, and they were divided into aquatic and semi-aquatic species. There were 17 invasive plant species, with the most common being Eichhornia crassipes, and 6 non-invasive species, with the most common being Digitaria nuda. Based on the results of the vegetation analysis, invasive plants had an index of 2.11 (medium), and non-invasive plants had a 0.82 (low). The total Simpson Diversity Index was 0.74 (high), with invasive plants at 0.73 (high) and non-invasive plants at 0.73 (high). The total Evenness Index was 0.69 (high), with invasive plants at 0.74 (high) and non-invasive at 0.46 (medium). The total Margalef Species Richness Index was 1.69 (low), with invasive plants at 1.30 (low) and non-invasive at 0.76 (low). The uncontrolled growth of invasive macrophytes can lead to reduced integrity of the aquatic ecosystem. Thus, invasive alien species must be managed with effective strategies to control their growth.

Ethnobotanical study of medicinal plants used by local communities in the Upper Bengawan Solo River, Central Java, Indonesia
type: item
description: Abstract. Nurcahyo FD, Zen HM, Rahma HS, Triyanto A, Yasa A, MD Naim D, Setyawan AD. 2024. Ethnobotanical study of medicinal plants used by local communities in the Upper Bengawan Solo River, Central Java, Indonesia. Intl J Bonorowo Wetlands 14: 25-36. Medicinal plants are all plants with properties that can cure certain diseases. World Health Organization (WHO) states that more than 80% of the world's population still uses medicinal plants, including the communities living around Bengawan Solo River, Indonesia. This river is the longest river in Java, and it is significant in maintaining biodiversity, including the surrounding fauna and flora, particularly medicinal plants. This study aims to explore the diversity and uses of medicinal plants in three subdistricts along the Upper Bengawan Solo River (Sidodadi, Ngringo and Palur), focusing on documentation and understanding of medicinal plants used by local communities. Ninety informants, including 5 key and 85 general respondents (aged 21-78), were selected using purposive and snowball samplings. Semi-structured interviews and participatory observations gathered ethnobotanical data to be presented descriptively and analyzed quantitatively, including demographics, use values and informant consensus factor. Villagers in the three sub-districts utilize 88 medicinal plant species for various ailments. The majority of medicinal practices rely on traditional methods and oral transmission for knowledge transfer. Leaves (51.1%) and fruits (25%) are the primary plant parts used, processed mainly through boiling (68.5%) and direct consumption (23.9%). Boiling is the most preferred method for combining multiple plants since it is considered the easiest and most cost-effective method. Zingiber officinale Roscoe, Alpinia galanga (L.) Wild., and Curcuma longa L. are the most commonly utilized plants. This study highlights the importance of preserving traditional medicinal plant knowledge along the Bengawan Solo River to inform c…

type: item
description: Abstract. Toby AT, Bassey IN, Effiong ME, Iduseri EO, Enyiukwu DN, Osu SR. 2024. Physico-chemical properties and mycoflora profile in some coastal wetlands of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria: Potential challenges for agro-ecological and public health. Intl J Bonorowo Wetlands 14: 9-18. This study assessed physico-chemical properties as it affects the distribution and diversity of mycoflora in different wetlands (Ibeno, Itu, Nsit-Ibom and Uyo) of Akwa Ibom State. The sediments and water samples were collected and cultured on Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) and Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA). Pure cultures of the mycotic isolates were identified using a molecular technique based on PCR amplification, sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer, and phylogenic analysis. At the same time, the physico-chemical properties of the specimens were determined using standard analytical methods. The results of the physico-chemical analysis showed that temperature and pH ranged from 27.27±0.33-29.21±003oC and 5.17±009-7.30±0.17 respectively per samples per locations. The presence of Cr, Cd, Pb, Mn, Zn, Fe, Ca, nitrates, sulfates, phosphates, vanadium, suspended solids, and dissolved solids amongst other variables were detected in the water bodies, thus indicating possible agro-anthropogenic pollution. The results also showed that Candida tropicalis, Aspergillus niger, A. terreus, A. aculeatus, A. tamarii, Penicillium citrinum, P. rolsfi, A. flavus, A. nominus and Trametes polyzona were associated with the wetlands. The most commonly isolated fungi from the four locations were species of the genera Aspergillus. For the sediment, Nsit Ibom was dominated by T. polyzona (60%) while Ibeno was dominated by C. tropicalis (40%), Aspergillus and P. citrinum dominated Nsit Ibom (60%) and Uyo (60%) for water samples respectively. The fungal isolates showed differential affinity and adaptation to the ecosystem’s heavy metals, ions and physical properties. Recent medical evidence, however, has associate…

description: Abstract. Ainindya DG, Rarasti KA, Farikha KN, Wiraatmaja MF, Yap CK, Setyawan AD. 2024. Characteristics of mangroves and carbon stocks estimation in Sampang and Pamekasan Districts, Madura Island, Indonesia. Intl J Bonorowo Wetlands 14: 19-24. Mangrove forests represent unique coastal ecosystems with inherent characteristics and substantial biological diversity. Flourishing in tidal regions submerged during high tide yet devoid of puddles during low tide, mangroves exhibit remarkable salt tolerance. This complex, diverse, and heterogeneous ecosystem serves diverse functions concerning physical, biological, and socio-economic aspects. Madura Island, Indonesia has extensive mangrove forests, especially along the southern coasts of Sampang and Pamekasan, which serve as centers of robust economic activity. This study aims to elucidate the characteristics and assess the carbon storage and absorption capacity of mangroves in Sampang and Pamekasan Districts, Madura, Indonesia. Employing direct observational methods, this study established plots measuring 10×10 m at four stations in December 2023. The average carbon stock in the study area stands at 42,605 tons/ha, with an estimated sequestration value averaging 1,5625 tons/ha. These findings align with the range prescribed by the IPCC for tropical wet areas, falling between 8.7 and 384 tons/ha. Among the three extant mangrove species, Sonneratia alba Sm. emerged as the primary contributor to the high carbon sequestration observed in the region. The study area hosts three mangrove species: Avicennia marina (Forssk.) Vierh., Rhizophora stylosa Griffith, and S. alba. The Importance Value Index (IVI) of R. stylosa was 111.91%, S. alba was 56.52% and A. marina was 25.32%. Mangrove stands with a Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) of less than 10 cm predominate across all stations, comprising 80% of A. marina, 98% of R. stylosa, and 63% of S. alba.

Dragonfly (Odonata) diversity in Kedung Klurak Waterfall Area, Mojokerto District, East Java, Indonesia
type: item
description: Abstract. Zahro’ DM, Rani TE, Agustin EP, Permatasari ASD, Susanto MAD. 2024. Dragonfly (Odonata) diversity in Kedung Klurak Waterfall Area, Mojokerto District, East Java, Indonesia. Intl J Bonorowo Wetlands 14: 1-8. Kedung Klurak is a tourist spot in Mojokerto District, East Java, Indonesia with a waterfall dominated by pine trees. Furthermore, using Kedung Klurak as a tourist spot increases human activity. This can affect the natural habitat of dragonflies; therefore, this study was conducted to identify the diversity of dragonfly species in the Kedung Klurak Waterfall Area. The sampling method used sweep net and path determination method using transects. The observation location was divided into three stations: waterfall, open area, and pine forest. The results of the study obtained 15 species from seven families. The Diversity Index in Kedung Klurak Waterfall Area is H': 1.605 in the medium diversity category. The highest diversity index is at the waterfall station with H': 1.678, followed by the open area station with H': 1.446, and the lowest diversity index at the pine forest station with H': 1.095. Several factors can affect species diversity differences at the three stations because each station has different environmental conditions, including temperature, light intensity, humidity, and vegetation. Based on the study's results, it can be concluded that the Waterfall station has a habitat following the natural habitat of dragonflies. Some species tolerate the environment and human disturbances, namely Vestalis luctuosa and Euphaea variegata. Therefore, using Kedung Klurak Waterfall as a tourist attraction can cause a loss of dragonfly diversity due to loss of vegetation, environmental pollution, and human disturbance. These factors cause dragonflies to move away from their habitat, as in the open area station where only five species of dragonflies were found.

description: Abstract. Kusuma LA, Damayanti K, Damayanti JT, Nisa J, Nurwulandari M, Nazar IA, Yap CK, Md. Naim D, Setyawan AD. 2023. Traditional ecological knowledge and utilization of rice in Sukoharjo District, Central Java, Indonesia. Intl J Bonorowo Wetlands 13: 78-85. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of Indonesia's staple foods and a source of income for some communities. Sukoharjo District is one of Central Java's most promising rice producing areas. In managing rice farming, the community incorporates local knowledge and discovers collective understanding about rice plants. The research was conducted to determine the existence of TEK (Traditional Ecological Knowledge) in Sukoharjo District, Central Java, Indonesia in managing rice varieties and influencing factors, as well as to learn about the community's perception of rice plants; the research employs a qualitative and quantitative ethnobiological approach. The results showed that although agriculture in Sukoharjo District is included in semi-modern agriculture, the community has TEK, which includes various rice varieties and paddy fields. Farmers in Sukoharjo District still use Inpari 32 rice varieties to manage their paddy fields instead of other varieties. Rice is widely used in various traditions, such as syukuran, weddings, kenduren, bersih desa, and rasulan. Many parts of the rice plant are also used, such as rice stems (straw), grain, husks, bran, and rice. A small part of the Sukoharjo community uses rice as an important role in cultural behavior and in maintaining the rice varieties' biodiversity well. In managing agriculture, some communities still use traditional techniques and adjustments to modern technology, such as using modern tools and human labor to plant seeds. The application of rice in every activity of the people of Sukoharjo District shows a complex relationship between humans and nature.

description: Abstract. Siddiq AM, Kurnianto AS. 2023. Short Communication: First record of Crow-billed Drongo (Dicrurus annectens (Hodgson, 1836)) in East Java Province, Indonesia. Intl J Bonorowo Wetlands 13: 73-77. Crow-billed Drongo (Dicrurus annectens (Hodgson, 1836)) is a migratory bird that breeds in the Himalayas and Southern China. It has a range of distributions for migration to Indonesia (Sumatra, Kalimantan, and Java Island). However, on Java Island, this species was only found distributed in West Java. During migration, species D. annectens have a stopover habitat in mangrove and coastal forests. This study records D. annectens in the mangrove forest of Jatipapak Block, Kucur Resort, Alas Purwo National Park (APNP) on 29 October and 31 October 2020. The species was observed by the using morphology characteristics documentary: the tail is split like a scissor with the ends curved upwards, the body is about 25-30 cm long, has a broad chest, and narrows to the belly direction. In addition, this bird has a thick-sharp bill and a shiny, bluish-black body. The species was observed resting in the crown of the outer side of the mangrove vegetation and then fleeing to other mangrove vegetation (the crown of the outer side). The occurrence of D. annectens in the APNP has not previously been reported. Therefore, the encounter of this species in the Jatipapak mangrove forest is the first record in APNP. On the other hand, this report also provides information that D. annectens has an extended migration range to the East Java Region.

description: Abstract. Adam C, Segah H, Kawamura K, Pitoyo D, Adiwijaya S, Damanik Z, Sustiyah, Pidjath C, Rafsanjani MA. 2023. Paludicola turfosa (Batrachospermales, Rhodophyta), a new record from Sebangau National Park, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. Intl J Bonorowo Wetlands 13: 66-72. Paludicola is a genus of red algae that inhabits freshwater environments. Based on initial observations, this genus was found in peat waters associated with the Rasau plant (Pandanus helicopus Kurz ex Miq.) in the peat swamp forest, Sebangau National Park. Of the many studies related to biodiversity in Sebangau National Park, none have reported the presence and description of algae, including members of the freshwater red algae Paludicola. The current status of red algae diversity in Indonesia has mostly been reported from marine ecosystems with only two species of freshwater red algae known from Indonesia. In this study, we report the preliminary description of the freshwater red algae Paludicola turfosa (Bory) M.L.Vis & Necchi, previously known as Batrachospermum turfosum Bory de Saint-Vincent from the peat water of Sebangau River, Sebangau National Park, as a new record for Indonesia. The P. turfosa was mainly found attached to the leaves of Rasau (P. helicopus) forming hair-like tufts representing its filamentous appearance. The descriptions include the recently updated taxonomy, general ecological macroscopic characteristics, and microscopic appearance of this algae.

description: Abstract. Djumanto. 2023. Lesser spiny eel (Macrognathus aculeatus) feeding preferences in the Progo River, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Intl J Bonorowo Wetlands 13: 36-42. Lesser spiny eel (Macrognathus aculeatus Bloch, 1786) is a highly valued fish species in the Progo River, Yogyakarta, due to its delectable taste, high nutritional value, and attractive aquarium filler. Therefore, this study aims to identify the dietary preferences of M. aculeatus collected between September 2020 and March 2021. Each fish was measured for individual length and weight, followed by an abdomen examination and digestive tract extraction. The intestinal length was also measured, and the digestive tract contents were classified based on the type and volume. Other parameters examined included relative gut length, the proportion of each kind of feed, the index of the largest portion, and the trophic level. The results showed that the ratio of gut length to total length ranged between 0.51 and 0.67, indicating that M. aculeatus were carnivorous. Their diet's six categories of organisms included crustaceans, annelids, insects, phytoplankton, zooplankton, and detritus. Female M. aculeatus was found to primarily consume shrimp (77.88%), followed by additional detritus feed (19.53%) and complementary feed (3%). Meanwhile, the males consumed 99.04% shrimp as their primary diet, and the remaining 0.9% were complementary. The feed niche area for female and male M. aculeatus was 0.137 and 0.005, respectively, indicating a minimal diet selection. Based on the results, the larger the fish, the more limited the feed options available. That indicates domestication and reintroduction should be made to preserve genetic diversity through food formulation and spawning from natural stocks.

description: Abstract. Pangestu PG, Iswandaru D, Wulandari C, Novriyanti, Prasetia H. 2023. Composition and feeding guilds bird community in tropical peatland of Orang Kayo Hitam Forest Park buffer area, Jambi, Indonesia. Intl J Bonorowo Wetlands 13: 57-65. Tropical peat ecosystems are vulnerable to fire damage and conversion, including in the Orang Kayo Hitam (OKH) Forest Park buffer villages, Jambi Province, Indonesia. The peat ecosystem is a habitat for various birds. In the ecosystem, birds act as seed dispersers, pest controllers, and pollinators, so their presence can be used as bioindicators of environmental quality. This study aims to analyze the composition and feed guilds of the bird community. The line transect method is used to explore the path in bird watching. The data were then analyzed using descriptively and qualitatively. In total, 29 species from 18 families comprised five species of waterbirds and 25 species of land birds. The families with the highest number of species were Alcedinidae, with a percentage of 13.79% each (4 species). At the same time, the lowest were Apodidae, Bucerotidae, Hirundinidae, Laniidae, Meropidae, Psittacidae, Rallidae, Cisticolidae, Turnicidae, Ploceidae, and Passeridae, with only one species (3.45%) identified per family. Based on the feed guild, there were nine types of guilds, with the highest rate being granivore (24,14%), while the lowest was insectivore on the forest floor (3.45%). The presence of bird species based on the feed guild indicates that shrubs or weeds dominate the land cover of the buffer village around the OKH Forest Park.

description: Abstract. Pramadaningtyas PS, Chandrasari N, Izdihar RS, Iqbal WM, Cahyaningsih AP, Setyawan AD. 2023. Analysis of riparian vegetation in the Siwaluh River, Karanganyar District, Central Java, Indonesia. Intl J Bonorowo Wetlands 13: 45-56. This research was conducted in the Siwaluh River Basin region, Karanganyar District, Central Java, Indonesia. Land conversion into residential areas has lowered infiltration capacity, particularly in the Siwaluh River riparian vegetation, in the form of reduced or even lost vegetation that should serve as a water catchment area and habitat for riparian plants. The research was done to analyze riparian vegetation in the Siwaluh River to collect data for the conservation of the riparian zone, which plays a vital role in ecology and the ecosystem. Calculating the maximum IVI value and the existence of plant species from the diversity of riparian vegetation could determine the dominant vegetation type in a given area. The quadratic plot method employed was used; square plots of 20mx20m for trees, 10mx10m for poles, 5mx5m for saplings, and 2mx2m for seedlings were established at each sampling location. After that, the vegetation investigation comprised density, dominance, frequency, Shannon-Wiener diversity index, and IVI. The survey identified 209 plant species; Kigelia africana dominated the highest IVI value in tree habitus. Practically, in each upstream, middle, and downstream location, Bambusa sp. dominated the highest IVI in the pole habitus, Manihot esculenta controlled the highest IVI in the sapling habitus, and Ageratum conyzoides dominated the seedling habitus. Variations in the diversity index (H') of tree, pole, sapling, and seedling habitus result from reduced or even disappearing vegetation due to land changes. Therefore, it changes the distribution pattern of riparian vegetation.

Short Communication: Diversity of small mammals (non-volant) in tropical peatland ecosystem of Orang Kayo Hitam Forest Park, Jambi, Indonesia
type: item
description: Abstract. Dara W, Iswandaru D, Wulandari C, Novriyanti, Prasetia H. 2023. Short Communication: Diversity of small mammals (non-volant) in tropical peatland ecosystem of Orang Kayo Hitam Forest Park, Jambi, Indonesia. Intl J Bonorowo Wetlands 13: 30-35. Peatlands areas dominate Orang Kayo Hitam Forest Park (OKH Forest Park), Jambi, Indonesia. The largest forest fire in the OKH Forest Park area occurred in 2015, damaging more than 70% of the area. The event subsequently affected the existing biodiversity, especially the diversity of small mammals. Small mammals have an important role in the ecosystem as agents in regeneration and restoration, including in the OKH Forest Park. The method used is the cage trap method which is placed by systematic sampling. Traps were placed in two types of habitats, namely shrubs, and forests. The bait variation consisted of coconut, sweet potato, banana, and oil palm fruit. All baits were treated by burning to give off an aroma. The resulting data were analyzed quantitatively using the Shannon-Wiener Diversity Index. Types of small mammals found in shrubs and forest habitats are Malaysian field rats (Rattus tiomanicus (Miller, 1900)) and plantain squirrels (Callosciurus notatus (Boddaert, 1785)) The diversity index shows a low category with a value of (H' = 0.17884). That indicates the condition of the habitat in the post-burnt peat ecosystem is still relatively depressed.

type: item
description: Abstract. Ngowi NJ, Zakayo G. 2023. Contribution and challenges of mangrove conservation to community’s well-being in eastern Tanzania. Intl J Bonorowo Wetlands 13: 15-21. Several mangrove conservation programs have been implemented in Tanzania to reverse degradation of mangrove ecosystem in the country. However, after their introduction in 1990s, many small-scale farmers relying on the mangrove ecosystems lost their livelihoods. To ensure that the people’s well-being and ecological integrity of the mangrove ecosystem are sustained, this study investigated the impact of nature conservation practices on financial sustainability, food security of local communities as well as ecological integrity of the mangrove ecosystem. The study employed a mixed-method approach where a survey was used to collect quantitative data from 90 household respondents selected randomly for a questionnaire survey. This was supplemented by data collected through personal observations and interviews administered to 30 local people (mainly key informants and focus group discussion). Quantitative data were analyzed through crosstab IBM SPSS version 20. Qualitative data were analyzed using content method. The results indicated that the conservation practices introduced brought a significant difference in financial stability (p<0.05) by increasing incomes of the implementing households to US $80.29 compared to US $69.20 for the non-implementing households. However, 83% of the implementing households still faced food insecurity by having meals only twice daily, although it was slightly higher compared to 80% for the non-implementing households. The 85% of the implementing and 65% of non-implementing households perceived that the conservation practices had improved the ecological integrity of the mangrove ecosystem by increasing the vegetation cover. The results of this study suggest that conservation practices in the mangrove ecosystem have increased financial sustainability and ecological integrit…

Analysis of drinking water quality based on biological, physical and chemical parameters in Lekobalo Village, Gorontalo City, Indonesia
type: item
description: Abstract. Katili L, Baderan DWK, Kumaji SS. 2023. Analysis of drinking water quality based on biological, physical and chemical parameters in Lekobalo Village, Gorontalo City, Indonesia. Intl J Bonorowo Wetlands 13: 22-29. Lekobalo Village is a part of the Gorontalo City, Indonesia area, which has not yet received full clean water coverage. Therefore, the community in Lekobalo used the wellsprings as the source of drinking water. An open water tank around the wellspring has been the source of drinking water for people in the surrounding. It becomes a place for household chores such as bathing, doing laundry, and serving as a lavatory. That makes the place look messy due to the household waste around the wellspring, which decreases the drinking water quality there. Hence, a test of the drinking water in Lekobalo is crucially needed. This study is descriptive-qualitative research that was conducted by a direct survey. Sample collection was conducted using sterilized bottles from the laboratory, and the data obtained were analyzed descriptively. This study aims to determine drinking water quality based on biological, physical, and chemical parameters. The research revealed that the quality of drinking water in Lekobali based on the biological parameter was considered polluted by Escherichia coli and coliform bacteria. The findings revealed that the average score of E. coli was 10.3 MPN/100 ml and coliform 200.5 MPN/100 mL. In physical parameters, the drinking water quality is relatively good with an average temperature of 20°C, turbidity NTU, scentless, tasteless, and colorless. The drinking water criterion that did not meet the physical parameters is the TDS (Total Dissolved Solid), which is 1,525 mg/L. According to the chemical parameter, the quality of the drinking water is considered relatively good with some average score of arsenic (As) 0 mg/L, fluoride (F) 1 mg/L, nitrite (NO2) 0.02 mg/L, nitrate (NO3) 3.6 mg/L, iron (Fe) 0.12 mg/L, Power of Hydrogen (pH) 6.6 mg…

Assessment of water quality with comparative study of soil organic carbon stock in Nagdaha Lake and its adjacent agricultural land of Lalitpur, Nepal
type: item
description: Abstract. Bhatta M, Joshi R. 2023. Assessment of water quality with comparative study of soil organic carbon stock in Nagdaha Lake and its adjacent agricultural land of Lalitpur, Nepal. Intl J Bonorowo Wetlands 13: 9-16. The lakes are an important component of the terrestrial Carbon (C) cycle. Estimates of global C burial by lakes suggest burial rates ranging from 0.03-0.07 Pg C yr?1. In the present study, the water quality of Nagdaha Lake and comparative analysis of Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) in Nagdaha Lake and its adjoining agricultural area has been studied. Water quality was determined following APHA (1998); SOC was determined by the Walkey and Black (1934) Titration Method. The present study results show that the mean N-nitrate and P-phosphate concentration in the waters of Nagdaha Lake is 0.135 mg/L and 0.123 mg/L, respectively, and the mean SOC concentration of Nagdaha Lake (71.39±42.58g kg-1) is higher than the adjacent agricultural land (14.36±8.38g kg-1). The t-test result also shows that there is a significant difference in SOC concentration in lakes (t = 9.18) and agricultural (t = 7.66) for agricultural land (p < 0.0001). Nagdaha Lake's area decreased from 52 ropani to 42 ropani between 1964 and 2022. Despite the decrease in area, Nagdaha Lake has more carbon per unit area than agricultural land. Since the conversion of lake land to agricultural land can release a large amount of carbon into the atmosphere, it is imperative to preserve the lakes to mitigate increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration.
