Name: A.83
Reference: EcoArt 2002
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.
