Environmental conditions and characteristics of mangrove growth

Environmental conditions and requirements for mangrove growth

Mangroves have a wide distribution range and are generally more common on tropical and subtropical coasts. Mangroves are wetland trees and generally like to grow in warm and humid places, and generally prefer places with less wind and waves.

Mangrove growth temperature

Mangroves like warm environments and certain high temperature environments. Generally, temperature is an important factor restricting the growth of mangroves. The most suitable growth temperature for mangroves is generally not lower than 20 degrees Celsius. They will not be able to survive when the ambient temperature is lower than 5 degrees Celsius.

Mangrove Growth Humidity

Mangroves like a humid environment. Mangroves are a kind of marine ecosystem. They usually grow at the junction of land and sea. They have extremely high requirements for humidity. The humidity must be sufficient to grow better.

Mangrove growing soil

Mangroves generally grow in sea mud. The salt content in sea water is relatively high. Generally, mangroves are more suitable for planting in highly acidic soil with high organic matter content, high salt content, and fertility. Generally, periodic tidal immersion is very beneficial to the growth of mangroves.

Mangrove Growth Cycle and Process

The root system of mangroves is very developed, with breathing roots. Generally, the seeds of mangroves can develop into seedlings in the fruit, and then separate from the mother body. It is a kind of woody viviparous plant. Mangroves can generally grow to about 14 meters. In places with low temperatures, mangroves will grow shorter.
