MANGROVE FOREST BIOME BY MARIAH HARVIN & CARTER FERALDI

WHAT IS A MANGROVE FOREST? The tidal habitat comprised of mangrove trees and shrubs Located along coastlines where rainforests meet the ocean Only exist in mid-latitude range (close to the equator) in tropical areas

CLIMATE Annual Average Water Temperature: 75º Fahrenheit (24º Celcius) Annual Average Air Temperature: 5º- 25º Celcius (41º-78.8º Fahrenheit) Average Annual Rainfall: 4.5 m ( in)

ENDANGERED HETEROTROPHS Pygmy Three-Toed Sloth (Bradypus pygmaeus) Proboscis Monkey (Nasalis larvatus) Fishing Cat ( Prionailurus viverrinus) Bengal Tiger (Panthera tigris tigris)

HETEROTROPHS Mangrove Twig Anole (Anolis angusticeps) Mangrove Tree Crab (Aratus pisonii) Crab Eating Macaque/Monkey (Macaca fascicularis)

CUTE ENDANGERED HETEROTROPH Florida Manatee ( Trichechus manatus latirostris)

ENDANGERED AUTOTROPHS Tea Mangrove (Pelliciera rhizophorae) Eye of the Crocodile (Bruguiera hainesii) Apple of the Mangrove (Sonneratia griffithii)

AUTOTROPHS Mangrove Trees (Rhizophora mangle) Sundari tree (Heritiera littoralis) Turtle weed (Batis maritime)

HUMAN IMPACT Deforestation Shrimp Farm Expansion Poaching Illegal Fur Trade Climate Change/Global Warming

INTERESTING FACTS Provide valuable nursery areas for juvenile fish and crustaceans Important source of nutrients for the adjacent marine ecosystem Form dense barriers against storms and tsunamis, saving lives and protecting property Stabilize shores by trapping sediments and building land

MORE INTERESTING FACTS 39.3 million acres of mangrove forests all over the world. More than 10.5 million acres, or 27% of mangrove forests are found in Southeast Asia. Contain some of the only trees and plants that can thrive in water with high salinity and soil with low oxygen About 80 different species of mangrove trees
