Abstract

Profile of metals Fe in lay ecosystem using ICP-OES in Donggala District, Indonesia

Highlights

During this time heavy metal content data in waters often does not reflect the actual level of pollution and danger in living things, monitoring the level of heavy metal pollution in the waters needs to be supported by monitoring of organisms’ life and sediment
The availability of nutrients in seagrass waters, including mineral elements Fe plays an important role in maintaining the fertility of seagrass, for which its presence in the waters is very important in maintaining the stability of seagrass growth
Iron metal in seagrass ecosystems from coastal waters of Donggala district based on the results of analysis using ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometry), shows that: 1. Iron concentration in seagrass ecosystems is higher in status with very fertile fertility compared to the status of infertile seagrass and poor seagrass status

Summary

Introduction

During this time heavy metal content data in waters often does not reflect the actual level of pollution and danger in living things, monitoring the level of heavy metal pollution in the waters needs to be supported by monitoring of organisms’ life and sediment. Monitoring on living organisms known as bioindicators, namely the use of certain types of organisms that can accumulate existing pollutants so that they represent the conditions in their environment[1]. Various types of organisms that live in an aquatic environment both plants and animals can be bio-indicators of metal pollution in waters and reflect the level of bioaccumulation occurs, one of the marine plants that can act as bio-indicators is seagrass. Seagrass are flowering plants (angiosperms) that have a rhizome true leaves and roots that live submerged, colonizes in a region through the deployment of fruit (ropagule) produced sexually (dioecious)[2]. According to Den Hartog[3], roots in seagrasses do not function important in water extraction, because the leaves can absorb nutrients directly from the seawater and do nitrogen fixation through the root hood. Seagrass growth is strongly influenced by internal factors such as physiological and metabolic conditions and external factors such
