Abstract

Remote sensing offers a spatial covering of species and mangrove associations and makes it possible two define distribution and abundance accurately. The distribution of vegetation in Términos Lagoon was determined by mens of a Multispectral Scanner (MSS) image obtained by the LANDSAT satellite. An association of Laguncularia racemosa-Avicennia germinans covered the greatest area to the southwest of the lagoon (13.5%), where as Rhizophora mangle-Avicennia germinans covered a smaller area; R. mangle has an heterogeneous distribution. The spectral class discrimination (with and 80% confidence level) defined an area to the southeast of lagoon of abundat Scirpus emerus and Fimbristylis spadicea.
