Their seeds fall from the tree and grow roots as soon as they touch any kind of soil. Most mangrove trees can be found in the coastal areas because they can tolerate salt. Mangrove swamps are coastal wetlands found in tropical and subtropical regions. Mangrove plants are halophytic (salt-tolerant) plant species, of which there are more than 12 families and 80 species worldwide. [1] Mangroves grow on 1/3 of tropical shores. During the dry months, wading birds congregate here to feed and nest. Interesting Mangrove Facts. Mangrove roots also provide habitats for fish and shellfish, crucial to sustainable livelihoods for coastal communities.

The mangrove trees stand in mud on stilt-like roots in the muddy estuaries of large rivers and in the lagoons, bays and tidal creeks found along tropical sea-coasts on both sides of the equator. [3] This is an example of seed dispersal by water. Mangrove habitat serves as a valuable nursery for a variety of recreationally and commercially important marine species. km in size) formed by the Ganga, Brahmaputra, and Meghna rivers as they drain into the Bay of Bengal.

These startling trees emerge from dense thickets of stilt-like roots, the lower sections of which are submerged in water. As soil and other things collect in their roots, little bodies of land are formed – just the right place for other island vegetation to grow. Summary: Mangrove Swamps are very important, because they support a lot of life in the ecosystem and are one of the common sights on tropical shores. These strange looking propagules drop from the parent tree when ripe, floating in the water until they find a good place to root. They are mostly nocturnal and quite aggressive by nature. These swamp communities are usually composed of red mangrove, black mangrove, and white mangrove. Mangrove roots give clear water to the coral reefs which often surround them. Mangrove forests stabilize the coastline, reducing erosion from storm surges, currents, waves, and tides.

Over time, the sediment may become islands, or extend the shoreline. © Copyright 2020 Hearst Communications, Inc. The roots actually help slow tidal waters, allowing sediment fall to the ground. Public awareness and education about the mangrove forests may help protect them. Mangrove forests are considered hardy plants given their ability to survive in high saline waters and low-oxygen soils. For the many gardeners who don't have access to a lagoon or beach front, young red mangrove plants can be enjoyed in a saltwater or freshwater aquarium according to Two Little Fishies, so long as the plant's leaves are allowed to extend out the top of the tank. And during the summer months, these mangrove forests provide the first line of defense against the howling winds and storm surge of hurricanes. 4.

Wave energy- Mangrove vegetation cannot develop on exposed coast where there is a lot of wave energy or current that often moves sediment which stops the establishment of seedings, protected bays, lagoons and estuaries are the most suitable localities. Unfortunately, mangrove forests have shrunk significantly over the last four decades. The roots of the tree filter out salt, allowing the tree to survive where other species would perish.
