	Salt management in Rhizophora mangle and Avicennia germinans (Final)
		Rhizophora mangle is often the most seaward-growing species of mangrove in Caribbean and Atlantic mangrove forests (SMSFP 2001b).
		Rhizophora mangle is considered a non-secreting salt excluder because it excludes salt from entering the roots and lacks glandular secretory structures.
		Physiological responses of the mangrove Rhizophora mangle grown in the absence and presence of NaCl.

	Unasylva - No. 139 - Mangroves: What are they worth? - Mangroves what are they worth?
		Rhizophora is especially popular because its wood is heavy, burns with even heat and gives off little smoke.
		Rhizophora is usually cut after 20-30 years, but in dense private plantations for firewood and poles, rotations may be as short as 7 years.
		In the early 1950s up to the 1960s the mangrove forest of Sabah was one of the sources of revenue and an export commodity in the form of firewood, charcoal and tannin.

	red mangrove
		Rhizophora mangle occurs worldwide in coastal and estuarine areas of the tropics and subtropics to about 28° in both the northern and southern hemispheres.
		Rhizophora mangle flowers are thought to be self pollinated or wind pollinated.
		Rhizophora mangle excludes the salt in seawater at the root-substratum interface.

	MANGALS
		This is a red mangrove, Rhizophora mangle, on a protected Atlantic coast of Florida, near Fort Pierce.
		In the neotropics these forests are either mixed species of Rhizophora, Avicennia, and Labuncularia, while farther inland in zones of higher salinity, forests may consist of monospecific stands of Avicennia, as shown here in Puerto Rico.
		Note the forest floor is covered by the pencil shaped specialized root structures known as pneumatophores, which help in the exchange of oxygen with subterranean roots.

		Hague Swamp area, south of road, showing moderate damage; some slight defoliation of scrub mangroves and drying of large areas of Acrostichum, the latter possibly as a result of storm surge throwing salt water over the fronds of this swamp fern.

		Chromosomal pairing and Pollen viability in Rhizophora mangle and Rhizophora stylosa hybrids
		Rhizophora stylosa Griff and their puative hyubrid (R x selala) were analysed for chromosome number and pairing.
		Lack of chromosomal homology appears to be contributing to high percentage of non-viable pollen resulting in complete sterility in the putative hybrid.

	Rhizophora mangle
		Since natural regeneration is so good, this species is not often cultivated, but it has been planted, for example, to stabilize the banks of brackish aquaculture enclosures.
		Cannell (1982) cites data showing that Rhizophora mangle spaced at 1,100 trees/ha, averaged 7–8 m tall, and an LAI of 4.4.
		The stem wood and bark on a DM basis weighed 28 MT/ha, proproots 14.4 MT, the branches 12.7, the foliage 7.8, and the roots estimated at 50 MT/ha for a total standing biomass of ca 113 MT/ha.

	mangrove trees in general: info fact sheet, photos
		Rhizophora send out roots from their trunk and branches which arch down to the ground (right) for extra support and air absorption.
		Most mangrove trees lack a heartwood and instead have narrow vessels that are densely and evenly distributed throughout the wood.
		This is the case with Avicennia (right) and the seed coat of its fruits drops away more quickly in water of the right warmth and salinity, usually in a spot best suited for an Avicennia seedling.

		Clear fellings of Rhizophora may be replaced by Avicennia (Hou, 1958).
		Cannell (1982) cites data on a mangrove forest dominated by Rhizophora, Ceriops, and Sonneratia, averaging 11 m tall, with an LAI (leaf area index) of 3.7–4.2.
		The stemwood and bark on a DM basis weighed 74.4 MT/ha, the prop roots 61.2 MT/ha, the branches 15.8, the foliage 7.4, the fruits 0.3, for a total standing aerial biomass of 157 MT/ha.

	The Present State of Mangrove Ecosystems in Southeast Asia and the Impact of Pollution - Thailand -
		On the Andaman coast, in Phang-Nga province, the mangrove forest has about 50% of its total width under the tidal range and the Important Value Index of Rhizophora mucronata, Rhizophora apiculata and Sonneratia alba at 20 m from the sea was found to be more than 50%.
		On coastal areas with a width of between 250 to 360 meters and a tidal inundation of about 130 to 200 meters, Rhizophora mucronata had an IVI of 70.2 and 89.3 at 20 and 60 meters respectively.
		But conversely, Rhizophora apiculata had an IVI of only 44.3 at 20 meters, and a higher IVI of around 131.5 to 175.4 between the levels of 60 to 340 meters.

		A classic example of vivipary in plants has been the red mangrove, Rhizophora mangal (Family Rhizophoraceae).
		While the fruit persists on the mother tree, the embryo forms an extremely long hypocotyl.
		The young seedling will eventually drops from the plant, then either root in surrounding mangrove swamp mud or drift on water potentially to colonize a different site.
