Characteristics of Avicennia lanata (Ridley) Species for mangrove restoration on the coast of North Gorontalo

Research on the rare mangrove Avicennia lanata (Ridley) is based on the habitat affinity of this species on the coast of North Gorontalo observed during 2017-2019. The current search was carried out in geographically isolated areas (land and islands) using a combination of tracking and Point Centered Quarter (PCQ) techniques to observe the substrate condition and elevation of the mangrove patch habitat, as well as to observe the morpho-anatomical character of the stand. The results showed that the habitat affinity of A. lanata species in North Gorontalo covers a wide range of substrate types, including mud, sandy mud, sand, muddy sand, and sandy and muddy soil on land with an elevation of 5.11–6.57 MDPL. The morpho-anatomical character as a distinguishing feature of A. lanata species from other Avicennia species found in leaves, stems, and fruit, could only be observed clearly in individual stands and trees. This study recommends restoration/monitoring of mangrove species A. lanata (Ridley) with a mixed-species restoration approach and community-based co-planting in a long-term mangrove restoration program in the coastal area of North Gorontalo.

Evaluation of the Total Mercury Weight Exposure Distribution Using Tree Bark Analysis in an Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining Area, North Gorontalo Regency, Gorontalo Province, Indonesia.

It is well known that atmospheric mercury (Hg) contaminates air, water, soil, and living organisms, including trees. Therefore, tree bark can be used for the environmental assessment of atmospheric contamination because it absorbs heavy metals. This study aimed to establish a new biomonitoring for the assessment of atmospheric Hg pollution. Reporting on atmospheric Hg contamination in an artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) area in North Gorontalo, Indonesia, we calculated the total weight of Hg (THg) and quantitatively measured the concentrations of Hg in the tree bark of Mangifera indica, Syzygium aromaticum, Terminalia catappa, and Lansium domesticum. The THg of Hg in the M. indica tree bark samples ranged from not detected (ND) to 74.6 μg dry weight (DW) per sample. The total Hg in the tree bark of S. aromaticum, T. catappa, and L. domesticum ranged from ND to 156.8, ND to 180, and ND to 63.4 μg DW, respectively. We concluded that topography significantly influences the accumulation of Hg together with local weather conditions. A mapped distribution of the THg suggested that the distribution of THg in the tree bark was not affected by the distance to the amalgamation site. Therefore, tree bark can be used as biomonitoring of atmospheric Hg contamination for the assessment of ASGM areas.
