they hold soil in place

Answer 2

The benefits mangrove trees provide to surrounding coastal wetlands are:

1. They hold soil in place.

4. They absorb the energy of waves.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mangrove trees are small trees that grow in the waters edging the coast. The mangrove name is just a general typification used to group different species. They are tolerant of salt and very harsh conditions because they adapted to filter the water from salt and also, to the low levels of oxygen in the water. They also develop root nets strong and wide that help them endure the wave energy. REducing it to the rest of the ecosystem. Also, they help hold soil in place with those roots. They are interconnected and that makes them the most important vegetation in coastlines.
