Abstract

Mangrove vegetation can affect the physical and chemical characteristics of the soil underneath. Its roots are capable of binding sediment from the river and reduce erosion or abrasion. Decomposition of organic matter derived from plant litter can contribute to the plant nutrient. The objective of the research is to examine some physical and chemical characteristics of the soil that is overgrown with mangrove vegetation:Api-Api (Avicennia sp.), Nipah (Nypa fruticans), and the combination of Avicennia sp. and Nypa fruticans. The research is conducted in estuary area,Cijulang, Ciamis, West Java. The method of sampling is by using random sampling and composed in each location, which are: land that is overgrown with vegetation Api-Api, Nipah, and combination of vegetation Api-Api and Nipah. Soil sample is taken at the depth of 30cm with the analysis of the maturity of the soil, soil pH, water salinity, organic matter, soil texture, bulk density, porosity, aggregate stability, and permeability and pore size distribution. The result shows that the soil that is overgrown with Api-Api, Nipah and the combination of Api-Api and Nipah has soil maturity index from raw to half mature, very low organic matter, and neutral pH. The soil that is overgrown with Api-Api vegetation contains higher sand fraction than Nipah vegetation or combination of Api-Api and Nipah. The soil that is overgrown with Api-Api vegetation has quick permeability, unstable aggregate stability, and also higher in bulk density, transmission pore, and salinity than Nipah or combination of Api-Api and Nipah.The soil that is overgrown with Nipah vegetation and combination of Api-Api and Nipah has permeability of slow to quite slow, quite stable aggregate stability and higher storage pore than the soil that is overgrown with Api-Api vegetation.
