Abstract: The paper described in detail the morphology, geographical distribution, biological characteristics (including phenology, seed quality, seedling growth, antiadversity, seedling diffusibility and intraspecific competition) and adaptability of ecological factors (such as temperature, illumination, salinity, tide mudflat and soil) of Sonneratia apetala according to investigated data in recent years and collected information at home and abroad. The paper also analysed the probability of ecological invasion and put forward a suggestion. It will provide a theoretical basis for further investigation on the ecological effects and reasonable development and utilization of non-indigenous mangrove species S. apetala in China in the future.
