Effect of Final Felling on Natural Regeneration III Rhizophora dominated Forests of Matang Mangrove Reserve

A study was undertaken to determine the effect of final felling an the natural regeneration of mangrove forests in matang Reserve. Two adjoining compartments (nos. 38 and 39) having typical Rhizophora forests and belonging to innundation classes III and IV 'were located from which three plots...
