摘要

Abstract

A vegetation analysis reveals that the Lai Chi Wo mangrove swamp in Hong Kong has 10 mangrove species comprising 76.9% of the total number of mangrove species in Hong Kong. This swamp is a mixed community dominated byAegiceras corniculatum

Heritiera littoralis

Excoecaria agallocha

Kandelia candel

Bruguiera gymnorrhiza

with importance values of 37.88

28.19

14.33

11.33 and 8.27 respectively. The community’s mangrove species diversity and evenness

as based on the Shannon-Wiener Function

were 1.44 and 62.01%

which were lower than those of the south su-tropical evergreen broad-leaf forest community but its ecological dominance (0.26) was higher. The correlation information field (CIF) method

a useful analytical method for complex forest community

was adopted in the present mangrove analysis. The species correlation information was:Aegiceras corniculatum (0.268)>Heritiera littoralis (0.250)>Kandelia candel (0.220)>Excoecaria agallocha (0.169)>Bruguiera gymnorrhiza (0.101). The correlation information of the mangrove community was 1.008.
