Mangrove Ecology, Silviculture and ConservationSpringer Science & Business Media, 29 июн. 2013 г. - Всего страниц: 360 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. |

... salt concentrations . Similarly , conductivity ( in S m1 , μS cm1 or mmhos cm1 ) is often used for easy field measurements and , while it is correlated with salt concentration and salinity , the linear relationship breaks down at high ...
... salt lies in the fact that mangroves are generally slow - growing and therefore they cannot compete with faster - growing species unless those species are suppressed or eliminated by salt . In this sense , salt is an essential ...
... salt levels . Salt exclusion by mangrove roots ( see section 3.2.1 ) is very effective and Passioura et al . ( 1992 ) have calculated that this process could lead to salt build - up in the soil with an assumed salt diffusion coefficient ...
... salt at variable concentrations , withstand any tidal buffeting that it may be subjected to from time to time , and have seeds that can survive seawater dispersal if the species is to grow and reproduce itself successfully . Furthermore ...
