Question

are mangrove forests dense and impenetrable

Answer 1

No....they have stilt roots which are visible only during low tide and not during high tide

Answer 2

Human beings have become human to destroy. Actually, we are very good at this that we have changed our planet's very make-up and climate. But there can be signs that the natural world is fighting back against the rising temperature and changing the patterns of the weather, and we are facing a powerful possibility to help in this process.

A recent study found that mangrove forests could go beyond their normal limits and adapt to climate change. The risk of several days of constant frost, which previously placed these trees in the tropical and sub-tropical areas near the equator, is constantly heading towards the poles. As an average global temperature rise, mangroves are able to increase their growth and extend their range beyond the equator.

Mangrove forests are coastal wetlands capable of living in salt or saltwater made from dense jambles of trees and thick bushes. Famous for sticking to the ground and tilted roots falling from the branches, the mangrove forest can grow in the ocean and make the almost impregnable meshes of narrow channels with coastlines.

Mangroves protect coastal areas, treat polluted water, provide livelihood and resources for some of the poorest people in the world, and are home to the effective number of species - many of which are commercially important. It has been suggested that most part of global fishing depends directly or indirectly on mangroves.

Despite their value, humans have also made an impressive job in the last century of logging them and destroying them for coastal development, aquaculture and wood and fuel production. Not to mention the destruction of their natural water courses and polluting the land which they develop.

So it is likely that climate change can benefit these habitats, in fact it is making promises. For a long time, it can help society to adapt to climate change and also reduce the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
