Name: Avicennia germinans / Sarcocornia pacifica Shrubland Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This association comprises mangrove communities growing on exposures of Miami Formation oolite in the Lower Florida Keys. It is dominated by a rather sparse stratum of <i>Avicennia germinans</i> (20-60% cover), mostly rooting in solution cavities, stunted by lack of soil and hypersaline conditions. Rarely <i>Laguncularia racemosa</i> may be present. <i>Salicornia virginica</i> is scattered. No herbs are normally present. Oceanwards this community normally adjoins a deeper water <i>Rhizophora mangle</i> community. Landwards this community grades into a shrubless <i>Monanthochloe littoralis</i> community, which then grades into a <i>Conocarpus erectus</i> community.  Accession Code: VB.CC.34823.CEGL003802 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
