Mangroves in Kannur district, the largest and least disturbed mangrove area in Kerala.
What is mangrove forest?
- Mangrove trees come in roughly 80 different species.
- All of these trees grow in low-oxygen soils where fine sediments can collect due to slow-moving streams.
- Due to its inability to tolerate freezing conditions, mangrove forests can only be found around the equator in tropical and subtropical latitudes.
- The dense tangle of prop roots that make the trees appear to be standing on stilts above the water distinguishes many mangrove forests.
- Because of this tangle of roots, the trees are able to withstand the regular rise and fall of the tides, which means that most mangroves are inundated at least twice a day.
- Tidal waters are also slowed by the roots, causing sediments to settle out of the water and build up on the muddy bottom.
- Mangrove forests help to keep the environment stable.
Hence, Kannur district mangroves are Kerala's largest and least damaged mangrove area.
