Description
Mangrove forests are salt-tolerant forest ecosystem and they are formed when the marine water reached to the coastal area. A total of 13 species representing 8 genera and 7 families in the Myaw-yit area and 13 species representing 11 genera and 9 families in Pandin-In area were analyzed in present study. In the both study areas, Rhizophoraceae is the most dominant family, Avicenniaceae is the second largest family. Ecological successful species with the highest importance value were Ceriops decandra (Madama) 69.76% in Pandin-In area, Avicennia marina (Thame-phyu) 84.60% in Myaw-yit coastal area. The frequency gives an approximate indication of the homogeneity of a stand.
