AdaptationsAdaptations

Anoxia- prop up absorb oxygen through lenticels (pores)

High Salinity-90% salt excluded, salt taken in stored in vacuoles then exuded through leaves

Water Loss-restricting stomata on leaves

HypothesisHypothesis

EDITED: If two Red Mangroves are placed in different systems the propagules will grow at different rates.

If the mangrove propagules are placed in a hospitable system under the right conditions, they will mature and grow into adulthood.

ConclusionsConclusions

Established Mangroves experienced more growth than the propagules.

Hypothesis-supported each propagule matured and grew

Propagules hit growth spurt at the same time during development.

Loss and addition of leaves by propagules.

Future SuggestionsFuture Suggestions

Introduce a species found in Mangrove Swamps to the tank.

Get a taller light for Mangrove C. Try out another species of mangrove

alongside a red mangrove propagule.
