Ambio, pp.492-496.0967-0653http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/1271A preliminary study on flora and fauna in a disturbed mangrove ecosystem is presented. The zonation of mangrove flora in the forest is clearly displayed by two dominant species, Avicennia marina and Sonneratia alba. A. marina forms an almost pure stand at the terrestrial edge of the forest, but the species is ubiquitous in the area. S. alba almost exclusively occupies the marine fringe of the forest.enflora and faunamangrove ecosystemenvironmental degradationZanzibarJournal Article, Peer Reviewed
