Name: Avicennia germinans Tidal Forest Alliance Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: Mangrove forests dominated by Avicennia germinans, sometimes with an admixture of Rhizophora mangle. This alliance consists of tidal mangrove forests dominated by Avicennia germinans. In parts of Florida where various mangrove species are present, Avicennia-dominated communities are prevalent in shallow basin situations and in areas referred to as 'high marshes,' with less frequent tidal flooding. See III.A.1.N.i Avicennia germinans Tidal Shrubland Alliance (A.733) for black mangrove communities stunted either by extreme hypersaline conditions (in basins), by shallow soil over oolitic limestone, or by periodic freezing (near the northern limit of the species). Canopy closure in this alliance is usually high, but more open stands are accommodated here, as well. In Louisiana, Avicennia-dominated communities remain stressed by cold weather and never attain the stature of forests.  Accession Code: VB.CC.19021.AVICENNIAGERMIN Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
