Mangroves are woody, specialized types of trees of the tropics that can live on the edge, where rainforests meet oceans occurring along the sheltered inter-tidal coastlines, mudflats, riverbanks in association with the brackish water margin between land and sea in tropical and subtropical areas. Mangroves have a very specialised adaptations that enable them to live in salty waters. Breathing roots allow them to survive in anaerobic sediments. Buttresses and above-ground roots enable them to grow in unstable 75% of its green cover within this century and about 90% mud flats. Their foliage removes excess salt from the sap, of the forest area is degrading (Krishnamurthy et al., and they conserve water to cope with periods of high 1995). Bearing this in mind, research was undertaken salinity. Their seeds are buoyant to allow them to during 2003-2004. disperse and establish themselves in new areas. Mangroves are salt-tolerant plants and the specific Pichavaram Mangrove Forest regions where these plants occur are termed as ‘mangrove ecosystem’.

  • Survey of Mangroves and Their Associates in Pichavaram Mangrove Forest
    R. Ranganathan et al., IJSIT, 2018, 7(2), 176-182 SURVEY OF MANGROVES AND THEIR ASSOCIATES IN PICHAVARAM MANGROVE FOREST S. Kumaravel and R. Ranganathan* Department of Botany, Annamalai University, Annamalai Nagar, Chidambaram, Tamil Nadu, India – 608 002. ABSTRACT Mangroves are the most productive coastal ecosystems in the world. The Pichavaram mangrove forest is rich mangrove diversity in Tamil Nadu. The present survey was conducted in the Pichavaram mangrove forest including Killai, Pichavaram and T.S. Pettai. Totally 25 species were recorded in the study period including 12 mangroves and 13 mangrove associated plants. In Mangroves, Avicennia and Rhizophora species were found to be dominant species in Pichavaram mangrove forest. Six dominant associate species were found such as Suaeda maritima, Suaeda monoica, Ipomoea pes-caprae and Sesuvium portulacastrum. Xylocarpus mekongensis is an endangered species and it was recorded in a very few. The information generated from this study will serve as a baseline to develop adaptive management strategies in anticipation of sea-level rise, setting of conservation priorities, monitor, deforestation and forest degradation, improve terrestrial carbon accounting and quantify the role of mangrove forests in saving lives and property from natural disasters such as tsunamis. Key words: Mangroves, Associates, Avicennia, Rhizophora, Conservation. 176 IJSIT (www.ijsit.com), Volume 7, Issue 2, March-April 2018 R. Ranganathan et al., IJSIT, 2018, 7(2), 176-182 INTRODUCTION Mangroves are among the most productive coastal ecosystems in the world (Kathiresan et al., 2001). They are confined to the tropics and subtropics, which dominate approximately 75% of the world’s coastline between 25° N and 25° S and are estimated to cover an area of 1.7 to 2.0× 105 km2 (Borges et al., 2003).
