Abstract
Above- and below-ground biomass of seedlings, saplings and trees of Bruguiera parviflora were measured in the mangroves of Kuala Selangor Nature Park, Malaysia. The biomass of seedlings was measured by quadrate method. Allometric equations were used to estimate the biomass of saplings and trees. The above-and below-ground biomass of seedlings, saplings and trees of B. parviflora were 1.12 t/ha, 0.90 t/ha and 142.46 t/ha; 0.25 t/ha, 0.14 t/ha and 18.93 t/ha, respectively. Above-ground components of seedlings, saplings and trees contributed 81.75%, 84.48% and 88.82% t/ha, respectively. Above-ground components of seedlings, saplings and trees contributed 81.75%, 84.48% and 88.82%, respectively of the total biomass and roots contained substantially lower proportion.
