Name: Rhizophora mangle Shrubland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: Generally monospecific shrublands in highly stressed situations (such as full saline, shallowly underlain by oolite), dominated by Rhizophora mangle, and described from the Florida Keys. Examples may be submerged for long periods. Substrate is not on peats like other wetlands of the region, but on calcareous muds 2-30 cm deep over limestone. Structure varies from nearly closed to open (canopy closure 25-90%). Other characteristic species include Cladium mariscus ssp. jamaicense, Avicennia germinans, and Sarcocornia perennis.
