Abstract: Based on the sampling of the plot and check, the paper discusses the distributive pattern of five principal tree populations in two Mangrove Communities of Bruguiera sexangula and B. gymnorrhiza in Qinglan Harbour, Hainan Province using five methods. The result shows that the pattern of Excoecaria agallocha and Rhizophora apiculata is clump, B. gymnorrhiza is random, the others can not be distinguished completely and be considered as a transitive type between clump and random. The concrete causes led to the patterns of these populations are approached and a suggestion on management and afforestation is made.
