Abstract | BibTeX | Tags: conceptual model, environmental changes, geomorphology, hydrology, Segara Anakan, understory @article{Prayudha2023, Coastal lagoons are important geographic features because they provide various natural resources. Exploitative resource use and mismanagement may cause irreversible damage to the environment. This paper aims to review research and management based on the available spatial dataset in Segara Anakan, a rapidly shrinking lagoon in Indonesia, which is expected to disappear completely soon. We summarize knowledge from the earliest available publication in the 19th century (Dutch colonial time) to current times. There are three extreme patterns of changes: geomorphological, vegetation cover, and hydrological changes. These changes are basically interconnected. For example, the lagoon is continuing to shrink, while freshwater supply is higher than seawater supply, decreasing soil salinity. With this lesser saline environment, the understory mangrove species occupy and grow quick in the degraded mangrove area. Thus, mangrove seedlings have difficulty in surviving in competition with the understory plants. From this insight, a conceptual model was developed, and could be used in the management of the area. The available (spatial) data can be used to obtain more knowledge about the mangrove forest in the area. |
