  • Mangroves: Unusual Forests at the Seas Edge
    Tropical Forestry Handbook DOI 10.1007/978-3-642-41554-8_129-1 # Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2015 Mangroves: Unusual Forests at the Seas Edge Norman C. Dukea* and Klaus Schmittb aTropWATER – Centre for Tropical Water and Aquatic Ecosystem Research, James Cook University, Townsville, QLD, Australia bDepartment of Environment and Natural Resources, Deutsche Gesellschaft fur€ Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, Quezon City, Philippines Abstract Mangroves form distinct sea-edge forested habitat of dense, undulating canopies in both wet and arid tropic regions of the world. These highly adapted, forest wetland ecosystems have many remarkable features, making them a constant source of wonder and inquiry. This chapter introduces mangrove forests, the factors that influence them, and some of their key benefits and functions. This knowledge is considered essential for those who propose to manage them sustainably. We describe key and currently recommended strategies in an accompanying article on mangrove forest management (Schmitt and Duke 2015). Keywords Mangroves; Tidal wetlands; Tidal forests; Biodiversity; Structure; Biomass; Ecology; Forest growth and development; Recruitment; Influencing factors; Human pressures; Replacement and damage Mangroves: Forested Tidal Wetlands Introduction Mangroves are trees and shrubs, uniquely adapted for tidal sea verges of mostly warmer latitudes of the world (Tomlinson 1994). Of primary significance, the tidal wetland forests they form thrive in saline and saturated soils, a domain where few other plants survive (Fig. 1). Mangrove species have been indepen- dently derived from a diverse assemblage of higher taxa. The habitat and structure created by these species are correspondingly complex, and their features vary from place to place. For instance, in temperate areas of southern Australia, forests of Avicennia mangrove species often form accessible parkland stands, notable for their openness under closed canopies (Duke 2006).

    A Floristic Evaluation of the Natural Plant Communities and Grounds Occurring at The Key West Botanical Garden, Stock Island, Monroe County, Florida Steven W. Woodmansee [email protected] January 20, 2006 Submitted by The Institute for Regional Conservation 22601 S.W. 152 Avenue, Miami, Florida 33170 George D. Gann, Executive Director Submitted to CarolAnn Sharkey Key West Botanical Garden 5210 College Road Key West, Florida 33040 and Kate Marks Heritage Preservation 1012 14th Street, NW, Suite 1200 Washington DC 20005 Introduction The Key West Botanical Garden (KWBG) is located at 5210 College Road on Stock Island, Monroe County, Florida. It is a 7.5 acre conservation area, owned by the City of Key West. The KWBG requested that The Institute for Regional Conservation (IRC) conduct a floristic evaluation of its natural areas and grounds and to provide recommendations. Study Design On August 9-10, 2005 an inventory of all vascular plants was conducted at the KWBG. All areas of the KWBG were visited, including the newly acquired property to the south. Special attention was paid toward the remnant natural habitats. A preliminary plant list was established. Plant taxonomy generally follows Wunderlin (1998) and Bailey et al. (1976). Results Five distinct habitats were recorded for the KWBG. Two of which are human altered and are artificial being classified as developed upland and modified wetland. In addition, three natural habitats are found at the KWBG. They are coastal berm (here termed buttonwood hammock), rockland hammock, and tidal swamp habitats. Developed and Modified Habitats Garden and Developed Upland Areas The developed upland portions include the maintained garden areas as well as the cleared parking areas, building edges, and paths.

(Bignoniaceae), a new species endemic to the karst rainforest in southern Mexico, is described and illustrated. The new species differs from the other species of Amphitecna by the combination of cauliflorous inflorescences, larger flowers, buds rounded at apex, and globose-ellipsoid rather than acuminate fruits. A key to the Mexican species of Amphitecna is presented. Keywords Crescentieae, karst forest, zona sujeta a protección ecológica “La Pera” Introduction Bignoniaceae (calabash tree family) includes about 82 genera and approximately 900 species of trees, shrubs and woody vines distributed mainly in tropical areas around the world (Lohmann and Ulloa 2006).

Phylogenetic analyses of chloroplast sequences ( rbcL , ndhF , trnL-F ) were undertaken to infer evolutionary relationships in Bignoniaceae and to revise its classifi cation. Eight clades are recognized as tribes (Bignonieae, Catalpeae, Coleeae, Crescen- tieae, Jacarandeae, Oroxyleae, Tecomeae, Tourrettieae); additional inclusive clades are named informally. Jacarandeae and Catal- peae are resurrected; the former is sister to the rest of the family, and the latter occupies an unresolved position within the “ core ” Bignoniaceae. Tribe Eccremocarpeae is included in Tourrettieae. Past classifi cations recognized a large Tecomeae, but this tribe is paraphyletic with respect to all other tribes. Here Tecomeae are reduced to a clade of approximately 12 genera with a worldwide distribution in both temperate and tropical ecosystems. Two large clades, Bignonieae and Crescentiina, account for over 80% of the species in the family.

Exhibit 14 – Maya Cocoa Garden Introduction This new Catalog of the trees and plants of the Gifford Arboretum has been in the works for over years. It has been a labor of love, but also much more difficult than anticipated. Part of the difficulty has been taxonomic upheaval as genetic analysis has reordered the taxonomy of many plant species. However, that also makes the catalog all the more timely and needed. It includes plot maps and cross references to hopefully increase its value to users, and it has been paired with the creation and installation of new identification tags that include QR codes for all plants in the Arboretum. These codes allow guests to learn about WKH plants right as they stroll through the Arboretum. QR reader apps are free andHDV\ WR download WR D smart phone, DQGWKH\ greatly increase the educational value of the Arboretum to you Special thanks are due to WKRVH who worked on the new Catalog, including Aldridge Curators Anuradha Gunathilake, Wyatt Sharber, Luis Vargas, DQG &KULVWLQH 3DUGR as well as volunteers and members of the Gifford Arboretum Advisory Committee, Julie Dow and Lenny Goldstein.
