Avicennia marina

Avicennia marina, known as the black mangrove, prefers to live in intertidal areas near the coast. Some of its living conditions include low elevation, slightly acidic to neutral soil pH (pH 6-8), and the ability to withstand tidal conditions and saltwater. Sufficient rainfall and moderate water salinity also support the growth of this mangrove. Avicennia marina mangroves are typically found in tropical and subtropical regions, where these conditions are more common (Kusmana et al. 2008)

Rhizopora mucronata

Rhizophora mucronata, the fire mangrove, grows in the intertidal zone along coastlines influenced by tides. Typically, this mangrove can be found at low elevations in coastal areas. Rhizophora mucronata can thrive in soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH range, approximately pH 6-8, showcasing its tolerance to soil pH variations. This mangrove tends to flourish in regions with moderate to high rainfall. Adequate water availability through rainfall or tidal influence supports its growth (Martuti et al. 2019).
