Abstract

Mangrove plants are a range of species from multiple unrelated taxa that typically grow between mean sea and highest astronomical tide levels on tropical and subtropical shorelines worldwide17. Generally, these plants have well-recognized features with highly specialized morphological and physiological adaptations for living in the harsh conditions of marine coastal environments. But, because of the variability amongst these characteristics, the current world list of mangrovespecific plants (see Table 2) is, to some degree, still subjective and incomplete. There is a great need for an updated, authoritative list of the world’s mangrove plants, but producing such a list presents at least four major challenges.
