N1  - Includes tables; Includes bibliographical references; The geographical distribution of mangrove species has been reported to be closely associated with climatic conditions, especially air temperature and rainfall (Blasco, 1984; Oliver, 1982). Mangrove species are usually found in much greater density in tropical and subtropical regions where rainfall is plentiful and mean air temperature relatively constant throughout the year. For example, the high density of mangrove species along the north-eastern coastline of Queensland is attributed to heavy rainfall exceeding 2000 mm per annum and low variation in air temperature between winter (23° C) and summer (28° C) (Oliver, 1982)
