Mangroves need calm water conditions to grow well and they are found at sheltered coastal area. The also need fine sediments containing nutrients under calm water conditions which encourage accumulation of fine sediments.

# data[].attributes.body
The growth of mangroves are encouraged by the calm water conditions and sheltered coastline. The calm water conditions encourages the accumulation of sediments along the coast, in return the sediments contains nutrients vital to the growth of mangroves. The calm water conditions and sheltered coastlines prevent the seedlings of the mangroves from washing away so they can take root and grow. Moreover they prevent coastal erosion and allow the mangroves to grow beter

# data[].attributes.body
The environmental conditions that encourage the growth of mangroves forest are muddy ground and around the shoreline, where there are seawater. Muddy ground allows the mangrove trees' seed and fruits to be able to sink deeper into the ground when they fall from the tree. This way, the seeds can grow better. The seawater allows the mangroves fruits to be able to be dispersed farther away from the other plants to prevent overcrowding. The seedlings would also be able to grow in a place where there are enough water because the waves would bring the seed to an area where the shoreline just ended.

The environmental conditions which encourages the growth of mangroves forests is the saline water as mangroves are the only plants that can survive in salt water.

mangrove forests:
- found in sheltered environments
- Calm water conditions encourage the accumulation of fine sediments containing nutrients, which mangroves require to sustain their growth
- able to grow in water and which has a higher salinity compared to freshwater

# data[].attributes.body
the water around there has a higher salinity compared to fresh water, so they can grow better in areas where water salinity is higher due to the lack of competition from other types of plants which are unable to grow in such conditions. Mangrovr plants also survive well in calm water conditions so that their seedlings are able to take root and grow without getting washed away by the strong waves. They also need nutrients to grow well so the sheltered and calm conditions would help them grow better.

The environment must experience the tropical climate, in areas between the Tropics of Cancer and Tropics of Capricorn. The mangroves need a sheltered coastline with calm waters to grow in order to prevent their seedlings from being washed away.

calm water so that the mangroves seeds would be able to grow
be near the coast because mangroves need salt water to grow well

# data[].attributes.body
the salt water encourages the growth of the mangrove forest as there are lesser plants that can survive with salt water. the calm water conditions also help as their seedlings are able to grow and take root without the water washing them away. calm water conditons also encourages accumulation of fine sendiments containing nutrients which the mangroves require to grow

# data[].attributes.body
The saline water near the coast line allows the mangroves to grow in a uniform height. Additionally, the calm water and sheltered coastlines also encourage the growth of mangroves. With calm water, sediments is able to accumulate, at the same time allowing their seedlings to grow without being washed away by the current

# data[].attributes.body
The mangrove forest grow in water with high salt content. They live in the tropical climate which temperature is above 20 degree c and require sheltered and calm water conditions to prevent seedlings to be washed away

# data[].attributes.body
The environment is warm and has sufficient amount of water for them to grow. They also have seawater to disperse their seed. The tides also are calm so that seedlings can take root

# data[].attributes.body
Mangroves grow in places where there is water that has high salinity than normal fresh water. Mangroves also grow in places with temperature and air that is not lower than 20 degrees

# data[].attributes.body
they need to be in a condition that have calm water so that the seedlings can take root and it will accumiliate sediments as nutrients for growth
they also stay along the coastal areas as they have high salt content

# data[].attributes.body
Mangrove forests are found in waterlogged and clayey soil. They are also located at sheltered areas very close to the coast.

# data[].attributes.body
mangroves are the only plants that grow in salt water so no other plants can compete for water with them if they grow in salt water

sheltered coastlines

# data[].attributes.body
The salt water allows the mangroves to grow faster as no other plants would fight over the water source from them. There is also calm coastlines and a very sheltered condition, this prevents them from being taken down by strong waves and winds. The temperature never drops below 20 degree which is most suitable for the mangroves to grow

# data[].attributes.body
The calm, salt water conditions and sheltered coastlines encourages the growth of mangroves plants.
