Name: Avicennia germinans - Laguncularia racemosa Basin Mangrove Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance consists of short, tidal and non-tidal mangrove forests on seasonally flooded peats in interior depressions of islands in the Caribbean, including the Florida Keys and on the mainland of southern peninsular Florida. These communities are often referred to as basin mangrove communities. The mangrove canopy is usually 3-12 m (10-39 feet) high, closed, and consists of a variable mixture of <i>Avicennia germinans, Conocarpus erectus, Laguncularia racemosa</i>, and <i>Rhizophora mangle</i>. <i>Ficus aurea</i> may be present, as well. The subcanopy and shrub strata can be well-developed. Epiphytes in some associations are abundant and diverse, and include a number of <i>Tillandsia</i> spp., among others.
