dc.description.abstract | A study on degradations mangrove forest due to firewood exploitation by coconut palm sugar home industry
in Cilacap. Information on social economic aspect and respons of coconut palm sugar home industry to using fuel
substitutions were collected by using a questioner. The potential of mangrove as a firewood source was estimated by
quadrat method. The study has been carried out on dry and rainy season. The wood production of available 8000 ha
of mangrove from Cilacap primarily Rhizophora apiculata Linn and Rhizophora mucronata Lamk were 3.249.920
m3. The results showed that the declining of mangrove was about 19,250 m2 in dry season and 26,551 m2 in rainy
season, this was correlated with the amount of nira to be processed that was 0,782 m3 in dry season and 1,079 m3 in
rainy season. Deforestation of mangrove forest due to change of mangrove zonation. Rhizophora apiculata Linn and
Rhizophora mucronata Lamk will be domination Nypa fruticans, that is shown superficiality to continent form. | en_US |
