the margin to be sampled was randomized. At each station,
three 10 10 m quadrats parallel to the water body were
marked, 10 m away from each other and 10 m inland from the
beginning of the mangrove area (i.e. at the fringe forest, e.g. Estrada
et al., 2013).
The characterization of mangrove forest structure was based on
Schaeffer-Novelli and Cintron (1986). In each quadrat, live individuals
with height 1 m were identified according to species
(sensu Tomlinson, 1986), had their total height measured or estimated
using a 4 m graduated rod and had the circumference at
breast height (CBH e 1.30 m above ground level) of each live trunk
measured with a tape measure.When was not possible to measure
CBH at 1.30 m (e.g. individuals smaller than 1.30 m or with foliage
at this height), it was measured below the first branch. Considering
the species Rhizophora mangle, in the presence of rizophores above
1.30 m, CBH was measured above the highest rizophore.
