Name: Rhizophora mangle / Eleocharis cellulosa Shrubland
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: In this stunted <i>Rhizophora mangle</i> shrubland, the mangroves are typically 0.5-2.5 m in height, and are more likely to be intertwined by prop roots than by branches. This community occurs in seasonally to semipermanently flooded situations, in 'gumbo marls' over oolite. Shrub cover is generally from 20-60%, and areas between the shrubs are dominated by <i>Eleocharis cellulosa</i>, with <i>Utricularia purpurea, Utricularia</i> spp., <i>Rhynchospora tracyi, Crinum americanum, Chara</i> sp., and with a dense marl periphyton. Bromeliads (<i>Tillandsia paucifolia, Tillandsia flexuosa</i>) may be common on the mangroves.
