Most of the island is tidally affected (tidal variation 1.5- 2.0m) and here the vegetation consists of mangrove forest (19 ha). The pH of the soil varies from 2.0% to 62.1%. The island is one of the most important waterbird breeding sites of Java. The tree species Sterculia foetida is very important as roosting site for a large number of flying foxes (Pteropus sp.). Principal vegetation: - Mangrove forest: Avicennia marina, Avicennia alba, Avicennia officinalis, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, Ceriops decandra, Ceriops tagal, Excoecaria agallocha, Lumnitzera racemosa, Pemphis acidula, Rhizophora mucronata, Rhizophora apiculata, Rhizophora stylosa, Scyphiphora hydrophyllacea, Sonneratia alba, Sonneratia caseolaris, Xylocarpus moluccensis, Thespesia populnea. - Dryland forest: Sterculia foetida, Chisacheton pentandrus. - Secundary forest: Wedelia biflora, Merrennia sp. - Ipomoea pes-caprae community. - Littoral sea-grass community: Thalassia hemprichii, Enhalus acroides.
