Presentation Transcript

  1. By: Michael Chiste The effect of the distance to the intracoastal on white mangrove growth

  2. The White Mangrove (LagunculariaRacemosa) • Found from Volusia County all the way down the coast • Shelters small marine life, and holds down soil with their strong roots during hurricanes and other strong storms • Roots allow them to live in either fresh or salt water because roots can take out the salt • Leaves are rounded, greenish-yellow color, and have glands called nectarines, which emit a salt that creatures eat • Has the ability to grow up to 60 ft. tall • Thrives in tropical regions, with lots of sun and water

  3. The Dendrometer • Unique scientific instrument; used to measure the growth of a tree trunk over periods of time (finding the circumference) • Equipped with a spring, which allows the band to move as the tree grows • Have a specific way to read, it’s NOT like reading a book

  4. The Intracoastal • Runs along some of the Gulf coast and most of the Atlantic coast; about 3,000 miles long • Goes through rivers, lakes, bays, and lagoons • Majority is made up of salt water, some parts can be fresh water though • Parts are man-made, while some are naturally occurring • Used as a major place for transporting goods

  5. Effect of the Distance to the Intracoastal on White Mangrove Growth • Can survive in both types of water the Intracoastal has, salt and fresh • This affects the growth because if it’s closer, it’s giving the tree more water to live on • Since the White Mangrove can separate the salt, this would be beneficial
