“…Kakenauwe is the only transect that contains a large number of the species Sonneratia, which is to be found at the front of the Rhizophora stand, in line with the zonations suggested by Blasco ( 1996) and Woodroffe (2000) and hence justifying its inclusion so that all the suggested dominant mangrove species are present in the regional dataset. Grindrod ( 1988) states that Northern Australia mangroves are dominated by Rhizophora, Ceriops and Bruguiera, in line with the major species present in the transects studied.…”

“…The highest percentage of Rhizophoraceae, between 8,500 and 7,500 years BP, was related to the start of the Godavari delta development between 8,400-8,000 cal years BP (Rao et al, 2012). According to Blasco et al (1996), at geological time scales, mangrove expansion is mainly a function of sea level dynamics rather than rainfall variations, even if this ecological community also needs strong fluvial inputs. This seems to be particularly the case of the mangrove increase during the 8,400 and 8,000cal years BP interval when the North Atlantic 8.2 ka cold event should have led to a southward migration of the ITCZ, and consequently a reduction in the Indian monsoon (Dixit et al, 2014).…”

“…Mangroves are the trees most capable of tolerating saline conditions in tropical and subtropical intertidal areas (McKee 1995, Blasco et al 1996, Saenger 2002, Spalding et al 2010. Mangrove forests are important because they have the ability to improve ecological aspects such as organic carbon dynamics (Flores-Verdugo et al 1987, Bashan and Holguin 2002, Kristensen et al 2008) and primary productivity (Holguin et al 2001, Dittmar et al 2006, and they provide protection against hurricanes and tropical storms (Raven et al 1992, Gilman et al 2008, Komiyama et al 2008.…”

Growth of three subtropical mangrove species in response to varying hydroperiod in an experimental tank

ABSTRACT. The effect of hydroperiod on the survival and growth of Avicennia germinans, Laguncularia racemosa, and Rhizophora mangle seedlings under experimental conditions was investigated using a simulated tidal system. Seedlings of the three mangrove species were grown at four inundation levels. All levels were flooded every 12 h in order to create a simulated semi-diurnal tide cycle (i.e., two high tides and two low tides per day). Based on the hydroperiod for the study area, level 1 was flooded for 10 h, level 2 for 6 h, level 3 for 2 h, and level 4 for 6 min. After 570 days, the results showed that R. mangle presented the highest growth at level 1 and the lowest growth at level 4. The optimal growth of L. racemosa occurred at levels 2 and 3, but all the seedlings died at level 1, indicating that this species is highly sensitive to tidal regimes. Compared to L. racemosa and R. mangle, A. germinans had a moderate growth rate at all four levels. Mangrove growth differentiations were more prominent at levels 1 and 3, where the three species showed very different growth patterns. Studies of optimal growth using hydroperiod experiments are important in order to understand the physiological responses of mangrove forests to a possible sea level rise in the next decades, especially in subtropical environments where they are constantly exposed to stress.Key words: hydroperiod, Avicennia germinans, Laguncularia racemosa, Rhizophora mangle. RESUMEN.Se investigó el efecto del hidroperiodo en el crecimiento y supervivencia de plántulas de Avicennia germinans, Laguncularia racemosa y Rhizophora mangle bajo condiciones experimentales por medio de un simulador de mareas. Se colocaron plántulas de las tres especies a cuatro diferentes niveles de inundación durante 12 h para simular un ciclo de marea semidiurna (i.e., dos mareas altas y dos mareas bajas por día). Con base en el hidroperiodo de la zona de estudio, el nivel 1 estuvo inundado por 10 h, el nivel 2 por 6 h, el nivel 3 por 2 h y el nivel 4 por 6 min. Después de 570 días, los resultados mostraron que R. mangle presentó el mayor crecimiento en el nivel 1 y el menor crecimiento en el nivel 4. El crecimiento óptimo de L. racemosa fue en los niveles intermedios 2 y 3, pero todas las plántulas murieron en el nivel 1, lo cual nos indica que esta especie es altamente sensible a periodos prolongados de inundación. Comparado con L. racemosa y R. mangle, A. germinans presentó un crecimiento moderado en los cuatro niveles. La diferencia en el crecimiento de los manglares fue más prominente en los niveles 1 y 3, donde las tres especies mostraron patrones muy diferentes. Los estudios sobre el crecimiento óptimo mediante simuladores de marea son importantes para entender la respuesta fisiológica de los bosques de mangle a un posible incremento en el nivel del mar en las próximas décadas, especialmente en ambientes subtropicales donde el nivel de estrés es alto.
