Abstract

Surrounding the South Pacific islands of New Caledonia, there is an unusual ecosystem of trees and shrubs living at the tidal waters’ edge. This habitat of mangroves holds an extraordinary collection of plants defined by their special adaptations for living in saturated soils and salty seawater with the daily ebb and flow of tides. This book provides images and descriptions of each of the special plant species found there.

This guide to New Caledonia’s mangrove plants includes:

• Descriptions of the 25 New Caledonian species, nearly 30% of the world’s • Illustrated keys for easy identification • More than 500 colour images and illustrations • Regional area sections, describing notable areas and places • A manual for community awareness

For research, teaching and the eco-minded.
