Root model of mangroves could be the key to preventing coastal erosion
Mangrove vegetation grows on subtropical shorelines and provides a variety of ecosystem services, including decreasing coastal erosion, supporting biodiversity, and eliminating nitrogen, phosphorus, and carbon dioxide. Water movement around complex mangrove roots influences these critical ecological services. The flow stirs up sediments, forming a sediment deposition area behind the roots. According to research, the complex … Read more
