Mangrove Adaptations

1) Root Adaptations- red mangroves have prop roots coming from the trunk and branches to give support. Black mangroves have wide spreading roots at the bottom to provide support.


2) Salt adaptations- the roots of the mangroves learned how to filter out the salt in order to allow the fresh water to flow through.


3).Anaerobic Sediment Adaptation- learned to adapt in oxygen poor places.

4)Reproductive Adaptations- They reproduce by flowering.
