  • This study aims to determine the amount of litter production and the decomposition rate of Rhizopora mucronata leaves in the Tongke-Tongke Village, Sinjai Regency, South Sulawesi Provincy, Indonesia. The results showed that the average productivity of Rhizopora mucronata litterfall is 2.89 g/m2/day or 10.55 tons/ha/year. The highest production of Rhizopora mucronata litterfall came from observational station III, with an average of 3.18 g/m2/day, while observational station IV shows the lowest production with an average of 2.29/m2/day. During the study, decomposition rate of Rhizopora mucronata leaves showed that station I experienced the fastest decomposition with an average of 0.27 g/day and the slowest one originated from the station IV with an average of 0, 14 g/day.
