Bruguiera is a genus of mangrove trees found in tropical and subtropical regions. These trees are known for their unique adaptations to coastal environments, including specialized roots that help them thrive in salty, waterlogged soils. They play a crucial role in coastal ecosystems by providing habitat for various marine species and protecting shorelines from erosion. There are several species within the Bruguiera genus, such as Bruguiera gymnorhiza and Bruguiera parviflora. These species are characterized by their distinctive prop roots and can grow up to 30 meters tall. Bruguiera trees are important for carbon sequestration, helping to mitigate climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
