How do mangroves survive in estuaries?
Mangroves are found in tropical and subtropical tidal areas. Areas where mangals occur include estuaries and marine shorelines. High tide brings in salt water, and when the tide recedes, solar evaporation of the seawater in the soil leads to further increases in salinity. The saline conditions tolerated by various mangrove species vary.
