Salt balance in mangroves.
The tidal zone of tropical seas is frequently lined with great mangrove forests, the dominating species of which belong to such genera as Rhizophora, Bruguiera, Sonneratia, and Avicennia. The outstanding feature of these plants is their adaptation to growing in seawater, and even though all do well in river estuaries they seldom penetrate inland beyond the direct action of ocean tides. A questi...
متن کاملHow Mangroves Salinize the Soil How Mangroves Salinize the Soil
A transient one-dimensional model of the vertical movement of water and salt in the mangrove root zone is investigated. This is an extension of a previous steady state model which assumed that the ability of the mangrove roots to take up water is uniformly distributed throughout the soil and that the root water uptake is reduced if there is nonzero salt concentration around the roots. We show h...

متن کاملHow Mangroves Salinize the Soil
We consider both stationary and time dependent versions of a model describing the vertical movement of water and salt in a porous medium in which a continuous extraction of water takes place (by the roots of mangroves). The problem is formulated in terms of a coupled system of partial diierential equations for the salt concentration and the water ow which generalizes previous models. We study t...
متن کاملMangroves at Their Limits: Detection and Area Estimation of Mangroves along the Sahara Desert Coast
The northernmost and most arid mangrove ecosystem of West Africa is found in Mauritania, in the Parc National du Banc d’Arguin (PNBA). The existing global and regional maps of Mauritania’s mangroves have little detail, and available estimates of the mangrove area differ among studies. We assessed the use of automated Remote Sensing classification techniques to calculate the extent and map the d...
