The 4 permanent plots were located from the seaward to the landward at Andaman Coastal Research Station for Development, Suksumran District, Ranong. Plot A (30 m X 50 m) was a pure stand of Avicennia alba while plot B (20 m X 40 m) was a ecotone which dominated by Rhizophora apiculata. Plot C (10 m X 30 m) was a pure dense stand of R. apiculata as well plot D (40 m X 40 m) was dominated by R. apiculata. Tree censuses have been conducted since 2003.
