Mangrove communities in the tropical north of Australia are some of the most species rich in the world, yet surprisingly little is known of their reproductive and vegetative phenology. This study investigated the phenology of four mangrove species: Avicennia marina (Forsk.) Vierh., Ceriops australis (C.T. White) Ballment, T.J.Sm & Stoddart, Rhizophora stylosa Griff. and Sonneratia alba J. Smith, in Darwin Harbour over 24 months. Investigations included documenting the flowering and fruiting…

The litterfall dynamics of three mangrove species in the family Rhizophoraceae: Rhizophora stylosa, Kandelia obovata, and Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, in Manko Wetland, Okinawa Island, Japan revealed that the monthly changes for leaf, stipule, flower, and fruit litterfalls of all the species were strongly and significantly concordant among the years.

Flowers and propagules litterfall were significantly influenced by monthly day length and rainfall, respectively, and the development of propagule could be affected by the climate during the development and the number of flowers etc.

Results revealed that both Rhizophora species produced all reproductive units (flower bud, open flower, and fruit) throughout the study period, and the production of R. mucronata flower buds was significantly inversely correlated with the total monthly rainfall and its fruits production was positively correlation with the mean temperature.

Vegetative and reproductive attributes of the species were clearly seasonal in both zones with distinct patterns, but shifts in peaks in leaf fall and emergence were observed in 2006, which can be attributed to salinity and tidal inundation differences that characterise the forest zones.

The mangrove forests of north-eastern Australia are both species-rich and well developed but there is very little information available on their vegetative growth or flowering and fruiting behaviour, so results for five species suggest that the floral and vegetative cycles are coordinated.

It is suggested that demands of precocious embryos for assimilates affects the timing of leafing and the relatively high resource demand of the reproductive pool may also be a factor that contributes to low productivity and stature at high latitudes.

Herbivory at a bird rookery was not significantly higher than elsewhere, indicating that nutrient enrichment of leaves did not stimulate herbvory at this site, and significant differences, dependent on tidal height, were found between seedlings and trees.
