Mangrove diversity enhances plant biomass production and carbon storage in Hainan island, China (2021, background): “Furthermore, Mangroves are the only species of tree that can adaptively flourish in highly saline environments (Alongi, 2009); These adaptive mechanisms result in special growth patterns in mangroves that are completely different from other tropical or sub - tropical forests.”
Mangrove Ecosystems: A Global Biogeographic Perspective (2017, unknown): “Other plants would have spread to the Australian shoreline, and changed slightly to become the R. mucronata sibling, R. stylosa (Fig.”
THE ROLE OF MANGROVES IN FISHERIES ENHANCEMENT (2014, background): “Current estimates suggest an average above ground net primary production of 11.1 t dry weight (DW) ha⁻¹yr⁻¹ (Alongi 2009), which is very similar to the value of 11.9 t DW ha⁻¹yr⁻¹ for tropical terrestrial forests.”
Mangrove root: adaptations and ecological importance (2016, background): “There are 9 orders, 20 families, 27 genera, and roughly 70 species of trees found in mangroves across the world (Alongi 2009).”
