Mangrove Forests

 
Mangrove forests also called mangrove forest is a forest that grows in the aqueous brackish marshes located on the shoreline and is influenced by tidal water. This forest is growing especially in places where there is siltation and accumulation of organic matter. Both in bays protected from the onslaught of the waves, and around the mouth of the river where the water slows down and precipitate sludge brought from upstream.

Mangrove ecosystem is unique, both because of siltation resulting in lack of soil aeration; high soil salinity, as well as experiencing cycles of tidal inundation by sea water. Only a few species of plants that survive in such a place, and other types are mostly typical of mangrove forests having gone through the process of adaptation and evolution
