Abstract: To investigate the mechanism of the natural regeneration of indigenous mangroves in Sonneratia apetala Buch.-Ham plantations and the effects of S.apetala. The method of survey plots was performed to analysis 14 years of S.apetala plantations in Dongzhai Harbor in November 2010. The results indicated that the community of S.apetala plantations is in the early stages of natural regeneration; there were correlation between provenance distance, elevation, forest spacing, the number of pneumatophores and natural regeneration of indigenous mangroves which were as followed: Shrubs:Y1=0.998X1+0.324X2+8.54X3-0.122X1X3-75.953;Seedlings:Y2=151.934-0.565X1-1.682X4; the natural regeneration was accelerated by the S.apetala forest planted with circulation and strips.
