Name: A.731
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: This alliance consists of non-tidal shrublands dominated by ~Rhizophora mangle$. ~Rhizophora mangle$ is generally the monodominant shrub, and characteristically forms an open to even scattered shrub stratum, in contrast to most tidal ~Rhizophora mangle$ communities. Various herbs, such as ~Eleocharis cellulosa$, with ~Utricularia purpurea, Utricularia$ spp., ~Rhynchospora tracyi, Crinum americanum$, and the macro-alga ~Chara$ sp., may be common. This alliance occupies more highly stressed sites than the I.A.5.N.f ~~Rhizophora mangle$ Tidal Forest Alliance (A.83)$$ and has shorter individual trees (less than 5 m and usually only 0.5-2 m tall).
