Tidal Forest
A Tidal Forest is a type of ecosystem found along coastlines, where trees and other vegetation thrive in areas that experience regular flooding from ocean tides. These forests are typically dominated by salt-tolerant species, such as mangroves and cypress trees, which have adapted to survive in brackish water. Tidal forests play a crucial role in protecting shorelines from erosion and providing habitat for various wildlife.
These ecosystems are important for maintaining biodiversity and supporting marine life. The roots of the trees help stabilize the soil, while the forest itself serves as a nursery for fish and other aquatic species. Additionally, tidal forests contribute to carbon storage, helping to mitigate climate change impacts.
