ADAPTASI MANGROVE CERIOPS TAGAL LAMK. TERHADAP CAHAYA DI BEDUL DAN GRAJAGAN TAMAN NASIONAL ALAS PURWO

Abstract

Abstract- The research that has been conducted aimed to determine whether there are differences in the effect of light intensity to adaptation Ceriops tagal Lamk. in Bedul and Grajagan area, Alas Purwo National Park. The method used in the research is descriptive method. Leaf samples were selected randomly from 5 different individual plants at each location, Bedul and Grajagan  area. The criteria of plants as sample are plants that grow in the less and much exposed by sunlightdirectly area. The research has been conducted aimed to determine anatomy of leaf, namely the shape and density of stomata. The results showed that both forms of stomata in the study area have the same type, which is parasitic. The difference on the effect of light intensity in both areas of research on the anatomy character of Ceriops tagal Lamk., shows that the number density of stomata in the Grajagan area is larger than the Bedul area.
