Name: Rhizophora mangle Scrub
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: Generally monospecific shrublands in highly stressed situations (such as full saline, shallowly underlain by oolite), dominated by <i>Rhizophora mangle</i>, 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 <i>Cladium mariscus ssp. jamaicense, Avicennia germinans</i>, and <i>Sarcocornia pacifica</i>.
