Abstract

[Extract] Mangroves are flowering plants that inhabit inter-tidal habitats along estuaries, rivers, bays and islands. Mangrove communities are usually groups of trees and shrubs, growing in sheltered areas where fine sediments accumulate, and where they are inundated by seawater during the daily tidal cycle.
