Abstract

This research was carried out in the Coastal area of Pantai Labu Subdistrict , Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra. The purpose this research is to identify the requirements for mangrove growth and development based on aspects of slope, soil, water, sea tide, and climate in Coastal area of Pantai Labu District. The method which used in this research were survey methods, data collection by sampling, and data analysis with qualitative. Data were obtained by field and institutional survey. The data were collected by observation, interview, measurement with tools, and map/ image interpretation. The research variables used in this study are physical factors requirements for the growth and development of mangrove research areas. The results of this study indicate the physical conditions of growth and development of mangroves in the Coastal area of Pantai Labu Subdistrict can be seen from (a) aspects of slope criteria: the study area is included in the sloping category with slope class 0-2%, (b) soil conditions criteria: soil texture is debris clay and the soil pH ranges from 5.60 to 7.00, (c) frequency of water conditions: water pH ranges from 5.35 to 7.36, salt content (ppt) ranges from <0.01 ‰ to 26 ‰, and temperatures range from 29.00 ºC to 34.40 ºC, (d) tidal criteria: including the class of micropases with tidal range <2 m, inundation height <2.00 m, and inundation frequency 57 - 62 per month, and (e) climatic conditions criteria: annual rainfall of 2,230.80 mm/ year, number of annual rainy days of 203 days, number of wet months 9 and number of dry months 0, average annual temperature of 26.91ºC, average air humidity the average per year ranges from 87.91%, and the average solar radiation per year 5.16 hours.
