Mangrove Forests

Mangrove Forests is a coastal ecosystem characterized by salt-tolerant woody plants of the mangrove species that thrive in the intertidal zones of tropical and subtropical regions, distinguished from other forest types by their specialized root adaptations to anaerobic, saline environments and their critical role in shoreline stabilization, carbon sequestration, and biodiversity support.
