Description 86-88
Rhizophora
apiculata seedlings, planted artificially in a degraded mangrove area, were
studied for growth as well as some physico-chemical parameters of the
plantation site, in monthly intervals for two years. The plant growth was at
higher rates in the first year of plantation and the growth rates of leaf and
stilt roots were more in the following year. Thus the mangrove adapted with the
degraded site within a year of transplantation, with an average growth rate of
3.6 cm/month. The plantation coincided with an increased bacterial bad in
sediments, without significantly influencing other physico-chemical parameters.
