Mangrove ecosystems flourish specifically in coastal areas, particularly in transitional zones where freshwater and saltwater converge, such as estuaries, deltas, and intertidal shorelines. These remarkable plants have evolved specialized adaptations for surviving in these challenging environments, including salt-filtering mechanisms, specialized root systems (pneumatophores and prop roots) that facilitate oxygen absorption in oxygen-deficient soils, and vivipary, whereby seeds germinate while still attached to the parent plant. Mangroves serve critical ecological functions including shoreline stabilization, erosion prevention, storm surge protection, carbon sequestration, and providing nursery habitats for numerous marine species. The other environments—hills, freshwater marshes, and deserts—lack the specific combination of saline or brackish water conditions necessary for mangrove establishment and survival.
