Biology of mangroves and mangrove Ecosystems
TL;DR: Mangroves are woody plants that grow at the interface between land and sea in tropical and sub-tropical latitudes where they exist in conditions of high salinity, extreme tides, strong winds, high temperatures and muddy, anaerobic soils, creating unique ecological environments that host rich assemblages of species.

Major role of marine vegetation on the oceanic carbon cycle
TL;DR: In this paper, a bottom-up approach derived from upscaling a compilation of published individual estimates of carbon burial in vegetated habitats (seagrass meadows, salt marshes, and mangrove forests) to the global level and a top-down approach derived derived from considerations of global sediment balance and the organic carbon content of vegeatated sediments was evaluated.
