KAJIAN PERUBAHAN CURAH HUJAN, SUHU DAN TIPE IKLIM PADA ZONE EKOSISTEM DI PULAU LOMBOK

Abstract

Lombok Island is one of small islands which is vulnerable to climate change. Climate change can seriously disturb that ecosystem, and therefore the strategies of mitigation and adaptation are urgently needed. Data and information of climate change are important to prepare strategies of mitigationandadaptationonclimate change. The aim of this research is to find out the data and information of rainfall, temperatur and type of climate change and also tracking their impact on Lombok island's ecosystem. The method used in this research is climate change analysis (i.e. value, change, spatial distribution and trend) andimpact analysis of climate change (by comparing between the recentandhistorical data). This research shows that there is climate change in Lombok Island characterized by change in rainfall trend, temperature and climate type. The impacts of climate change on forest ecosystem are the damage of mangrove ecosystem, disappearance of endemic species, land cover degradation, andalso reduction in qualityandquantity of springs. Keywords:Rainfall, temperature, type of climate, climate change, ecosystem
