Produksi Dan Laju Dekomposisi Serasah Pada Ekosistem Mangrove Di Desa Buruk Bakul Kecamatan Bukit Batu Kabupaten Bengkalis
The mangroves in Buruk Bakul Village are not far from residential areas, making them vulnerable to overexploitation for firewood and charcoal. In addition, shipping activities have caused damage to the mangrove ecosystem due to oil spills, and mangrove land has also been converted into shrimp ponds. These conditions may reduce the ecological functions and roles of mangroves as nutrient transformers, ultimately affecting the productivity of coastal or estuarine ecosystems. This study aimed to determine the litter production and decomposition rate of mangroves in Buruk Bakul Village, Bukit Batu District, Bengkalis Regency, Riau Province. The research was conducted in July–August 2024 using a survey method at three observation stations with litter traps and litter bags. The results showed that the highest litter production was recorded at Station II (4.81 g/15 days), while the lowest was at Station I (1.31 g/15 days). The average decomposition rate of mangrove leaf litter decreased from 0.155 g/day on the 15th day to 0.123 g/day on the 30th day. Differences in production and decomposition rates were influenced by mangrove density, human activities, environmental conditions, and inundation levels. In general, the mangrove ecosystem in Buruk Bakul is still in good condition, with an average density of 1,611 trees/ha.
