Question

The red mangrove is a tropical species of tree found mostly in the southern part of Florida. The tree grows right up along the shore of the ocean,with the sea water often covering the root. Which adaptation allows the red mangrove tree to survive in its environment?

Answer 1

Two key adaptations they have are the ability to survive in waterlogged and anoxic (no oxygen) soil, and the ability to tolerate brackish waters. Some mangroves remove salt from brackish estuarine waters through ultra-filtration in their roots. ... Many mangrove trees also have a unique method of reproduction.
