If an answer links mangroves with low-rainfall deserts, what is the correct correction?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Mangroves should be linked with saline, tidal coastal wetlands
Mangroves grow in saline coastal environments influenced by tides, usually in muddy wetlands and estuaries. Hence, they must be associated with tidal coastal wetlands, not low-rainfall deserts. Thorny scrub is vegetation of dry, low-rainfall areas and is not a mangrove habitat. Exam tip: remember the clues ‘salinity + tides + coastal mudflats/wetlands’ for mangroves.
