Forest structure and litter production of naturally regenerated white mangrove Avicennia marina in subtropical estuarine coast
The present work deals with plant structure, phenology, litter production and decomposition of mangrove Avicennia marina in the newly re-generated mangrove forest in sub-tropical coast. The natural generation in this accreted coastal land of mono-specific A. marina forest stand was prominent, with 4...
