- Abstract
Mangrove stands in Puttalam lagoon and Dutch bay, two interconnected lagoons situated on the north western coast of Sri Lanka have been classified broadly into two groups, i.e., estuarine and island/mainland-fringing stands. Structural diversity of six mangrove stands, representing the two types was studied in terms of floristic composition, density, basal area, mean stand diameter, tree height, standing above-ground biomass and leaf-area index. Rhizophora mucronata andAvicennia marina wer...
