摘要

The study of five mangrove forests was undertaken during the summer of 1998 on the north coast of Haiti. Photo-interpretation detected area changes between 1978 and 1989; the areas were reduced by an average of 43 percent each. Two of the sites, Salee River mangrove and Haut-du-Cap River mangrove, were characterized by means of a vegetation survey and water and soil analysis. Tree density averaged 58,750 stems/ha and 114,250 stems/ha respectively, while tree height averaged 2 m. Interviews with villagers indicated that all the assessed mangroves are intensively harvested for charcoal and fuel wood. This extraction seems to be the main human disturbance, resulting in changes in forest structure, although heavy fishing and conversion to residentialsites constitute disturbances in some mangroves. The situation is critical but probably not irreversible. However, the socio-economic and environmental conditions prevailing in the country and the lack of basic information on Haitian mangroves are majorobstacles to their preservation.
