Differential Oxidation of Mangrove Substrate by Avicennia germinans and Rhizophora mangle

Abstract: Both Avicennia germinans (black mangrove) and Rhizophora mangle (red mangrove) are commonly found in anaerobic substrate. Black mangrove roots create oxidized rhizospheres substantially larger than those described for other plant species. When air cannot enter the root system through the pneumatophores, the rhizospheres become as reduced as nearby un vegetated soil. The presence of red mangrove, in contrast, appears to have no effect on the oxidation state of surrounding anaerobic soils. It is likely that thes… Show more

“…Pneumatophores have a significant amount of aerenchyma tissue and are considered as organs responsible for gas exchange between the atmosphere and the internal tissue of mangroves (Scholander et al 1955). Redox measurements in areas vegetated by this species indicate that this supply of O2 can modify the redox status of normally reduced sediments (Thibodeau & Nickerson 1986, Carlson & Yabro 1988, Mckee et al 1988, McKee 1993. Recent redox measurements in cores from a fringe mangrove in Florida, incubated as descnbed in this study, and with pneumatophore densities similar to the ones observed in our cores, show that redox potentials do not significantly change during 5 d of incubation (Rivera-Monroy et al unpubl, results).…”

Rhizophora mangle have no effect on the oxidation state of surrounding anaerobic soils (Thibodeau & Nickerson, 1986). Studies realized in Laguncularia racemosa cable roots and pneumatophores showed that cable roots are very efficient for water transport, and that this occurs mainly through the external vessels of the secondary xylem (Angeles et al, 2002).…”

“…A rizosfera da Avicennia tende a ser mais rica em matéria orgânica e possui um pH mais elevado 7,14 . A Rhizophora influencia de forma menos efetiva as condições gerais do solo abaixo de sua rizosfera, sendo por conseguinte altamente sulfídrica 7,10,21 . Diversos estudos têm demonstrado as interações entre os metais-traço e os minerais de sulfetos de ferro autigênicos em ambiente sedimentar anóxico 11,13 .…”
