Name: Rhizophora mangle Forest Group Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This tidal forest wetland group of the Caribbean occurs in low-energy tidal areas and along intertidal shorelines. The primary species comprising this group is <i>Rhizophora mangle</i>, with essentially tropical affinities and intolerant of cold temperatures. This group attains best development in low wave-energy, depositional environments. Examples occur on soils generally saturated with brackish water at all times and which become inundated during high tides. The brackish environment tends to limit competition from other species. This group includes tidal fringe mangrove forests and the tidal riverine mangrove forests dominated by <i>Rhizophora mangle</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:39743-{CE91C2A4-CA4C-48D9-901C-3F9DE2C36ED5} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
