-- Mangroves @ Chek Jawa Boardwalk -- HDR 90
What are mangroves?
The word 'mangrove' is used to refer to both the plants as well as the entire community of plants. According to Tomlinson, mangroves may be defined as tropical trees that grow only in the intertidal and adjacent communities.
Mangrove trees grow where no tree has grown before. They are able to survive inundation by salt water twice a day, and in 'soil' which is soft, unstable and poor in oxygen (anaerobic). They also have to deal with rivers carrying silt during the wet season, as well as violent storms that hit the coasts.
