Name: Avicennia germinans / Sarcocornia perennis Shrubland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: Mangrove communities growing on exposures of Miami Formation oolite in the Lower Florida Keys. Dominated by a rather sparse stratum of Avicennia germinans (20-60% cover), mostly rooting in solution cavities, stunted by lack of soil and hypersaline conditions. Rarely Laguncularia racemosa may be present. Salicornia virginica is scattered. No herbs are normally present. Oceanwards this community normally adjoins a deeper water Rhizophora mangle community. Landwards this community grades into a shrubless Monanthochloe littoralis community, which then grades into a Conocarpus erectus community.
