Ecosystem
An ecosystem is a biologicalenvironment consisting of all the
organisms living in a particular
area, as well as all the nonliving,
physical components of the
environment with which theorganisms interact, such as air,
soil, water, and sunlight.It is all
the organisms in a given area,
along with the nonliving (abiotic)
factors with which they interact;a biological community and its
physical environment. The entire
array of organisms inhabiting a
particular ecosystem is called a
community.
In a typical ecosystem, plants
and other photosynthetic

organisms are the producers that
provide the food. Ecosystems can
be permanent or temporary.
Ecosystems usually form a
number offood webs.
Ecosystems are functional unitsconsisting of living things in agiven area, non-living chemicaland physical factors of their
environment, linked togetherthrough nutrient cycle andenergy flow organism interact .

Species
A species is one of the basic unitsofbiological classification and ataxonomic rank. A species is oftendefined as a group of organismscapable of interbreeding andproducing fertile offspring. While inmany cases this definition isadequate, more precise or differingmeasures are often used, such assimilarity of DNA, morphology or
ecological niche. Presence ofspecific locally adapted traits mayfurther subdivide species intosubspecies.

A population is all the organisms
that both belong to the samespecies and live in the samegeographical area. The area that isused to define the population issuch that inter-breeding is possiblebetween any pair within the areaand more probable than cross-breeding with individuals fromother areas. Normally breeding issubstantially more common withinthe area than across the border.

A community is a group ofinteracting species sharing a
populated environment. Inhuman communities, intent,belief, resources, preferences,needs, risks, and a number ofother conditions may be present
and common, affecting theidentity of the participants andtheir degree of cohesiveness.

Mangroves are trees and shrubsthat grow in saline coastal habitats
in the tropics and subtropics mainly between latitudes 25 Nand 25 S. The saline conditionstolerated by various species rangefrom brackish water, through pureseawater (30 to 40 ppt), to water of
over twice the salinity of oceanseawater, where the salt becomesconcentrated by evaporation (up to90 ppt). There are many species oftrees and shrubs adapted to saline
conditions.
Not all are closely related, and theterm "mangrove" may be used forall of them, or more narrowly onlyfor the mangrove family of plants,

the Rhizophoraceae, or even morespecifically just for mangrove trees
of the genus Rhizophora.
Mangroves form a characteristicsaline woodland or shrublandhabitat, called mangrove swamp,
mangrove forest, mangrove ormangal. Mangals are found indepositional coastal environmentswhere fine sediments (often withhigh organic content) collect in
areas protected from high energywave action. They occur both inestuaries and along opencoastlines. Mangroves dominatethree quarters of tropicalcoastlines.

The presence of this species graduallychanges the physical environment of thehabitat.The extensive root systems ofthese plants trap and collect sediments,including organic matter from decayingplant parts.

As time passes, the soil becomes morecompact and firm. This condition favoursthe growth of Rhizophora sp. Gradually
the Rhizophora sp. replaces the pioneerspecies.
Rhizophora sp.
The prop root system of the Rhizophora
sp. traps silt and mud, creating a firmersoil structure over time.The ground becomes higher. As a result,the soil is drier because it is lesssubmerged by sea water.
The condition now becomes more suitablefor the Bruguiera sp. which replaces the
Rhizophora sp.

The buttress root system of the Bruguierasp. forms loops which extend from the soilto trap more silt and mud.
As more sediments are deposited, theshore extends further to the sea. The oldshore is now further away from the seaand is like terresterial ground.Over time, terrestrial plantslike nipah palm and Pandanus sp. begin toreplace the Bruguiera sp.

By 1989, Lagunculariaracemosa, with densities up to12.9 tree m2, was a dominant in allplots, although densities weregreater at edge plots relative toinner plots, and near open water(west plots) relative to further inland(east plots), and in tall mangroveplots relative to scrub plots.Rhizophora mangle (1989 treedensities about 2 m2) was acodominant in inner and scrub plots,whileAvicennia germinans had thelowest densities (

After11 years, densities ofL. racemosawere 1020 lower and R. mangleslightly less in the gap relative todensities in tall mangrove plots inthe restored site at the same age.Although the restored stand hadconverged with the natural forest by2000 in terms of some factors suchas species richness, vegetationcover, litterfall, and lightpenetration, trees were still muchsmaller and stem densities muchhigher. Full development of maturestructure and ecological function willlikely require decades moredevelopment.
