These species have adapted to live in brackish and/or saltwater, and to being (partially) submerged during high tides. They make up the transitional zone between the ocean and land. In the Dominican Republic there are four species of mangroves: red mangrove (Rhizophora mangle), black mangrove (Avicennia germinans), white mangrove (Laguncularia racemosa) and buttonwood (Conocarpus erectus). They are usually found in this same predictable order from the shoreline towards inland, because of their different levels of tolerance to salinity and inundation. Red mangroves grow in the least elevated areas bordering shorelines and are easily recognized by their distinctive arching roots. The black mangrove is the most salt tolerant, as it grows in hypersaline conditions to the back of the mangrove zones in the upper intertidal areas that are occasionally flooded.
