Name: A.733
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: This alliance consists of mangrove areas dominated by stunted ~Avicennia germinans$. The dominant ~Avicennia germinans$ in these communities is stunted either by extreme hypersaline conditions (in basins), by shallow soil over oolitic limestone, by periodic freezing (near the northern limit of the species), or by combinations of those factors. Few other vascular plant species are generally present.
