Mangrove

Managrove is a unique wetland ecosystem in the inter-tidal zone on sheltered tropical and subtropical shores. The word mangrove refers both to this inter-tidal forest community (often called the mangrove forest or the mangrove swamp) as well as to constituent plants of such a community, i.e., the mangrove trees. Mangrove trees are special types of trees that can grow in seawater. The mangrove swamps are formed around the mangrove trees. These mangrove swamps are full of plants and animals that can live in the inter-tidal zone. Mangrove communities are made up of taxonomically diverse groups of plants and animals, and each community has its own distinctive flora and fauna species. There are many species of Mangrove trees; about 110 have been identified. Mangroves play an indispensable role in the protection of the coasts and in maintaining their bio-diversity. More...
