Mangroves are a fascinating group of plants that occur on
tropical and subtropical shorelines of all continents, where they
are exposed to saltwater inundation, low oxygen levels around their
roots, high light and temperature conditions, and periodic tropical
storms. Despite these harsh conditions, mangroves may form
luxuriant forests which are of significant economic and
environmental value throughout the world - they provide coastal
protection and underpin fisheries and forestry operations, as well
as a range of other human activities.
This book provides an up-to-date account of mangrove plants from
around the world, together with silvicultural and restoration
techniques, and the management requirements of these communities to
ensure their sustainability and conservation.
All aspects of mangroves and their conservation are critically
re-examined. Those activities which threaten their ongoing survival
are identified and suggestions are offered to minimise their
effects on these significant plant communities.
