As the climate warms, there could be new opportunity for mangroves
- "Mangroves are tropical, salt-tolerant trees that grow in the intertidal zone of coastal waters. They don’t tolerate cold weather, particularly extreme freezes, during which they die and get replaced by coastal salt marshes... while Florida’s mangroves have been on a northward march since the cold snaps of the 1980s, warming trends from climate change have not yet begun to play a significant role in the cyclical growth and retreat of mangroves. But the researchers project that to change." - Excerpt from University of Los Angeles
