Short summary
Populations of Rhizophora mangle (salt-excluding) and Laguncularia racemosa (salt-secreting) in the Maracaibo strait in Venezuela showed: 1) significantly larger succulence in adult leaves of Laguncularia; 2) higher concentrations of N, K, and Mg in Rhizophora and higher P, Na, Ca, and S in Laguncularia; 3) both species resorbed C, N, P and K and accumulated S, Na, Mg, Ca, Mn, and Fe. Compared to Laguncularia, Rhizophora restricted Na and S uptake, resorbed more P, and accumulated Fe.
