MANGROVES IN FLORIDA
The territory of the State of Florida is surrounded by the ocean in the vast majority of its extension, for this reason it is very common to find these amazing trees called Mangroves.
But….. What is a Mangrove…..?
Mangroves are a water resistant trees, and play a critical role in reduce flood damage by storing rainwater when it rises and releasing it slowly over time. They help stabilize Florida’s coastal ecosystem and reduce erosion.
Wetlands are invaluable in keeping as filters for contaminants, not to mention that the filtration capacity of carbon dioxide to oxygen through photosynthesis is greater than other tree species.
There are four species of mangroves that you can find in Florida and they will be mentioned below.
Red Mangrove also know as the walking tree, is the tree that will be in direct contact whit the water. From there fallows the Black Mangrove, which has the characteristic of secreting salt through the lower part of its leaf, in addition to being surrounded by pneumatophores and it could be said that it is located on the second level from water to ground. On the third level is the White Mangrove and a little further from the water is Buttonwood Mangrove.
Florida contain three native wetland species of mangroves that are protected by the “Mangrove Trimming and Preservation Act” of 1996, which regulates the cutting and conservation of mangroves.
This law applies to cutting and alteration of the Red Mangrove, Black Mangrove and White Mangrove.
This species are covered by this law, whether they are alive or dead. It is important understand that both, the owner of the land and the contracted person are responsible for the proper cutting of the mangroves.
IMPORTANCE OF MAINTAINING YOUR TREES AND PALMS
The care and maintenance of our trees is our responsibility. There are many benefits to managing your tree. These practices help to strengthen the structure and vigor the trees, regardless of the stage of the life cycle in which it is found, but it is important to highlight that at an early age there are better results in its development. These practices help strengthen the structure and vigor of the tree.
Some practices that help maintain the health, appearance and safety of trees are.
.-Elimination of branches that rub against each other.
.- Elimination of branches that interfere with utility cables, building facades, gutters, roofs, chimneys, windows or that obstruct streets or sidewalks.
.- Elimination of dead or weak branches that represent a risk or my begin to rot.
.- Elimination of irreversibly diseased branches or infested with insects.
.- Improved tree structure to decrease wind resistance and the potential for storm damage.
.-Elimination of branches damaged by adverse weather conditions.
.-Thinning or cutting of unnecessary branches.
.- Improvement of the shape or silhouette of the tree.
Although the takedown is considered a last resort, there are circumstances in which it is necessary to avoid risks and further damage, for example:
.- Storms can cause the weakening of branches or entire trees, if we add to this equation that the tree presents signs of extreme decay (it`s dying), if we also add to the equation that it has weak joints or carriers extra weight like Spanish moss. The result of the equation will often be an unintended result, because that tree could fall on houses, cars, other structures or other trees.
Trees damaged during storms can pose a high degree of danger, because they can be very heavy. “TREE FELLING IS A DANGEROUS ACTIVITY” But the removal of a dead or fallen tree without human intervention is even more so. Due to the fact that we have to work with dynamic forces in which we do not have absolute control over them. That is why. I invite you to help your tree and, if necessary, implement the necessary maintenance.
