dc.description.abstract | Composition density and wood volume of the common mangroves along the Goa Coast, India has been studied. Factors like topography, geology, soil type, geomorphology, tides influences composition of the mangroves. 27 locations were randomly selected. At each location 2-4 transect lines were established from the estuary to the land 10 x 10 m quadrates were laid down at 10 and 20 m intervals along and at right angles to each transect line. Trees larger than 2-5 cm in diameter were recorded in each plot. The mangrove flora of Goa consists of 15 species belonging to 10 genera and 7 families. The dominant mangroves are Rhizophora mucronata, Avicennia officinalis, Sonneratia alba, etc. Excoecaria agallocha is very common in the mangroves of Goa. The distribution of mangroves is mainly influenced by salinity. Phenological characteristics of mangrove species were related to different environmental factors. The major mangrove formations in Goa occur along the Mandovi, Zuari, Cumbarjua estuarine complex and Galgibag estuary | |
