Mangroves of the Warm Temperate Southwestern Atlantic is a regional ecosystem subgroup (level 4 unit of the IUCN Global Ecosystem Typology). It includes the marine ecoregions of Rio Grande and Southeastern Brazil. The mapped extent of mangroves in 2020 was 709.5 km2, representing 0.5% of the global mangrove area. The biota is characterized by three species of true mangroves, Rhizophora mangle, Laguncularia racemosa and Avicennia schaueriana. The mangroves are associated with estuaries, coastal lagoons and bays, and the lagoons of barrier islands. This province marks the southernmost latitude for mangroves in South America. Seasonal factors may interact to limit the poleward dispersal of mangrove species. Primary influences include the year-round, northward-directed longshore drift and the high frequency of cold fronts and chilling events during winter. Additionally, seasonal upwelling of cold waters in spring and summer may impact the viability of propagules.
