Abstract
In all plant ecosystems, natural chemical, physical, biological and ecological processes occur as a result of the interaction of its biotic and abiotic components. From these processes derives the stability of ecosystems and the maintenance of life on the planet. Understanding this relationship is essential for man-made management of natural resources based on their needs. Avicennia germinans is a plant species that plays a key role in the mangrove ecosystem of which it is part. The objective of this work is to assess the ecosystem services provided by the species and the importance of its ecological function in the ecosystems where it is found, in order to determine the possible anthropic uses derived from its natural potentialities.
