Mangroves or mangrove plants are able to grow and thrive in muddy tidal areas. While the coastal areas are defined as areas where land adjacent to the sea. Limits on the mainland coastal areas are the areas flooded or not flooded and is still influenced by marine processes such as the ebb and flow of the sea, the sea breeze and sea water intrusion, while in the coastal marine boundary areas are affected by natural processes such as sedimentation and onshore flow of fresh water into the sea, and the sea areas that are affected by human activities such as deforestation and land pollution.
benefits of mangroves are:
As a place to live animals
Can be a place to live endangered species such as proboscis monkeys or birds.
Protection Against Natural Disasters
Mangrove vegetation protects buildings, agricultural crops or natural vegetation from storm damage or salt-laden winds through the filtration process.
Mud deposition
The physical properties of the plants on mangrove mud pengedapan helping process. Mud deposition is closely related to the removal of toxins and nutrient water. Away, because these materials are often bound to the sludge particles. With mangrove forests of the sea water quality maintained silt erosion.
Nutrient Addition
The physical properties of mangrove forests tend to slow down the water flow and precipitation occurs. Often the deposition process often is the case with the deposition process nutrients derived from various sources, including leaching from agricultural areas.
Mooring Poison
Many toxins are entering the aquatic ecosystem in a state bound to the surface of the mud or on the lattice water molecules soil particles. Some species in the mangrove forests even help process toxins active belay.
Natural resource areas (In-Situ) and outer region (Ex-Situ)
The results of in-situ natural fauna and covers all or mineral mining results can be used directly in the region. While Ex-situ natural resources include natural products in the mangrove forest and transported / moved to another place which is then used by the local community, Be a source of food for other organisms or provide other functions such as extending the beach because the sand and mud removal.
Germplasm Sources
Germplasm of wild life is very beneficial both for the improvement of commercial wildlife species and to maintain wildlife populations themselves.
Maintaining Process and Natural Systems
Mangroves are very high role in supporting the ongoing ecological processes, geomorphology or geology in it.
Absorption of Carbon
Anorgaini fotosestesis process converts carbon (CO2) into organic carbon in the form of vegetation material. In most ecosystems, these materials decompose and release carbon back into the atmosphere as (Co2). However, mangrove forests actually contain large amounts of organic material that does not rot. Because it is more mangrove forests serve as carbon sinks than the carbon source.
Prevent Development of acid sulfate soils
Mangrove forests can prevent the oxidation of pyrite and blocking layers grown natural conditions.
