- LITTER PRODUCTION OF Rhizophora Mangle AT BACALAR CHICO, SOUTHERN QUINTANA ROO, MEXICO Alberto de Jesús Navarrete José Juan Oliva Rivera Agrociencias Mexico litter fall coastal zone Quintana Roo Rhizophora mangle In order to know the litter fall of the red mangove, Rhizophora mangle, samples were collected from July1996 to July 1997 in the channel of Bacalar Chico in southern of Quintana Roo state. Litter wascollected bimonthly in duplicate baskets at five sites. Four mangrove species were present in the studyarea, but R. mangle dominated widely. Leaf production comprised 99.8% of total litter fall biomass,being the highest in July and September 1996 (0.27 g·dry wt·m-2·day-1 and 0.28 g·dry wt·m-2·day-1respectively). Although, the flowers and the fruits represented less of 1% of total litter production, it wasclear that the reproductive season was coincident with the highest values of temperature andprecipitation, both occurring in September. Mangrove in Quintana Roo produced a total litter fall of 2.61 tdry wt ha-1year-1. Mangroves of Quintana Roo must be protected and used with conservation criteria. 2002 artículo científico 0186-2979 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=15403601 es http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=154 Universidad y Ciencia application/pdf Universidad Juárez Autónoma de Tabasco Universidad y Ciencia (México) Num.18 Vol.36
