- A review of floral composition and distribution of mangroves in Sri Lanka
- Abstract
Recently published reports list numbers and distributions of Sri Lankan mangrove species that outnumber the actual species present in the field. The present study serves to review this literature and highlight the causes of such apparently large species numbers, while providing an objective and realistic review of the mangrove species
actually present in Sri Lanka today. This study is based on standardized fieldwork over a 4-year period using wellestablished diagnostic identification...- Publication Date
