Variation in Mangrove Geometric Traits Among Genera and Climate Zones

Overview
Coastal engineering models frequently represent vegetation as rigid cylinders to simulate the geometry of mangrove trees, including their roots, trunks, and canopies. However, mangrove geometry varies widely across different species, ages, geographic locations, and environmental conditions. Despite numerous studies on mangrove morphology, comprehensive data describing these geometric variations for accurate coastal protection models remain scarce. These geometric variations, particularly in root structures, play a crucial role in influencing functions such as flow modifications, sediment deposition, surface elevation changes, and wave reduction. Acknowledging the ecological complexities often neglected in engineering models, our meta-analysis examines the differences in mangrove geometry among genera and climatic zones. We systematically reviewed the literature to compile published values of mangrove geometry, detailing the height, diameter, and densities of roots, trunks, and canopies for 28 mangrove genera across four climatic regions (tropical, subtropical, semi-arid, and temperate). Our findings offer a valuable resource for coastal protection modellers aiming to improve the precision and reliability of mangrove-based defence models. Additionally, the dataset reveals gaps and biases in data collection for certain genera in specific climatic regions, suggesting areas for future research to address these deficiencies.
