Effect of sea dike on the quantity, community characteristics andrestoration of mangrove for est along Guangxi coast. Fan Hangqing ( Guangxi Mangrove Research Center, Beihai 536000), Li Guangzhao ( Guangxi Oceanology Institute, Beihai 536000).Chin. J. App l. Ecol., 1997, 8( 3) :240 244. 63% of the coastline of Guangxi mainland are margined by 498 sets of sea dikes, which de 2 stroyed the pristine mangrove forests, with a remain of 5654 hm . About 85% of the remain are dikefringed mangrove forests. The dike discontinued the natural geomorphological profile of mangrove flat. Consequently, Rhizophora stylosa and Bruguira gy norrhiza are sharply de creased, Lu nitzera race osa is endangered and Ceriops tagal is disappeared. Excoecaria a gallocha and other most landward species can only grow on dike slopes. In contrast, the pioneer species of A vicennia arina and Agiceras corniculatu dominate the presentday mangrove forests.The restoration of sea dikefringed mangrove forests are strongly interfered by human!s maintenance of sea dikes. The t idal flats edged by sea dikes are not t he optimal habitats for mangrove forest development, due to relatively low elevation above mean sea level.It seems that the survival rate of afforestation and the restoration speed of secondary mangrove forests may greatly depend on the sedimentat ion rate of habitats.
