Avicennia alba is one of the best mangrove colonies. A. alba seems to adapt well to grow stably on dynamic flat mud. A. alba species through their root growth, vare able to rely on sediments quickly, resist the hydrodynamic force of waves and tidal currents within a few days and then withstand the movement of sediments in the upper sedimentary layers. While from Ceriops tagal propagules and Rhizophora mucronata, after falling from the mother tree, certain dehydration levels stimulate the initiation of root formation as a sign to show dormancy propagules. As a result, root formation cis delayed when propagules float in the sea during dispersal. Meanwhile, the formation phase of mangrove propagules is faster in conditions of low salinity than in conditions of high salinity, and if during the rainy season, conditions for propagules’ information are better. However, these two species follow different strategies for the distribution and formation of mangrove zoning, and these findings contribute to the explanation of the distribution of different species.
