Name: Rhizophora mangle - (Avicennia germinans, Laguncularia racemosa) Riverine Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: <i>Rhizophora mangle</i> predominates in stands of this type but is sometimes mixed with <i>Avicennia germinans</i> and <i>Laguncularia racemosa</i>. These are mangrove forests on organic soils in intertidal situations along island peripheries, usually with little or no understory, in the Florida Keys and southern peninsular Florida, as well as presumably in the Caribbean (e.g., Puerto Rico). Tidal flushing is daily. This association has the highest productivity and highest floristic diversity of mangrove communities in southern Florida and the West Indies. The canopy is also the tallest, with the closed mangrove canopy usually 7-15 m (or up to 20 m) high.
