Mangrove trees have specialized adaptations to survive in the extreme conditions of estuaries. They can tolerate high salinity, periods of flooding where their roots are submerged and lack oxygen, temperature fluctuations, varying light levels, and utilize nitrogen and phosphorus from the nutrient-poor environment. These adaptations allow mangroves to serve as an important habitat for fish, crabs, molluscs and other wildlife.

plants have the competition for as many plants can’t live without these conditions. 2. Flooding: Twice in a day the roots of the mangrove are completely submerged under water and can’t take in oxygen. 3. Temprature: extreme in tempratures limit important plant processes and can cause death to some part of the plant or the whole plant. 4. Light: Either too much or not enough light For: -fish -crabs -molluscs interferes with plant processes and causes temperature fluctuations 5. Nutrients: Mangroves take up nitrogen and phosphorus and use these building blocks to build roots, stems, and leaves.
Flamingos have developed its anatomy over time
to fit its diet. With competition against jabirus, they have developed long, flexible necks to hunt fish in the water better. CORDGRASS
Mangrove trees are specialized to survive in the
extreme conditions of estuaries. The main two key CRABS adaptations they have are the ability to survive in waterlogged , anoxic (no oxygen) soil, and the ability to tolerate brackish waters.
