A study on the mangrove formations of the Neotropical-Austroamerican Kingdom

Abstract

According to the most recent literature, although very few plant species are characteristic of American mangrove formations, to date over 30 plant associations, including three orders, seven alliances, and three phytosociological classes have been published. Location: The Americas (USA, Mexico, Central America, Caribbean and South America). Questions: Are all these mangrove forest associations consistent from a phytosociological point of view? Do they have floristic, biogeographic and dynamic soundness? Have they been described based in mangrove swamp characteristic species? Have all these syntaxa been named and published according to the provisions of the International Code of Phytolosociogical Nomenclature?
