Influence of Different Elevation on Barnacles Attaching to Planted Mangrove Seedlings

The investigation on the distributions of the barnacles attaching to the stems of mangrove seedlings during one year was carried out in Zengying,Xiamen.The distributions of barnacles attaching to Kandelia candel and Avicennia marina have some certain regularity.Barnacles′ quantities decline,along with the elevation and tree level heightening,where the mangroves located.At the same time,the barnacle qualities have quite close relationship in season change.In arboreous species choice,there are some harmful differences in Kandelia candel and Avicennia marina.This research provides the scientific basis for choosing elevations and avoiding the barnacles′ harm in artificial mangrove restoration of ecological engineering.
