Mangroves
How Do Mangroves Survive in Salty Water? Normally, most plants grow only in freshwater environments. This is because high salinity creates serious physiological problems for plants. In salty conditions, osmosis causes water to move out of plant cells, leading to dehydration and shrinkage. In addition, prolonged exposure to sodium (Na⁺) and chloride (Cl⁻) ions can result in ion toxicity, damaging enzymes and cellular structures.This naturally […]
