Name: Rhizophora mangle Tidal Forest Alliance
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: Most oceanwards and frequently tidally flooded mangrove forest, dominated by Rhizophora mangle. This alliance consists of tidal mangrove forests dominated by Rhizophora mangle, occurring especially in coastal areas, islets, and along tidal shores which receive regular tidal inundation. Canopy closure is usually high, but more open canopies can occur, especially as a result of hurricane damage; they are included here. These communities are generally very simple floristically. See also the related shrubland type, which occurs in more stressed sites.
