Searcy (Department of Biology, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA 01003). Anatomy and morphology of red mangrove (Rhizophora mangle) plants in relation to internal airflow. J. Torrey Bot. Soc. 132: 537–550. 2005.—Mangroves cover large areas of shoreline in the tropics and subtropics where they are important components in the productivity and integrity of their ecosystems. Many mangrove plants are rooted (most are stilt roots-adventitious roots derived from stems) directly through standing sea water into anoxic substrate. Under these conditions, shoots must provide O2 to roots. The purpose of this research was (1) to understand the tissues involved with the predominant airflow pattern in red mangroves (Rhizophora mangle) from leaves ...
