In The Grass, On The Reef: Black Mangroves Encroach On Florida Salt Marshes

Map of the Southeast United States. Most of the coastline of Florida is highlighted in a narrow band. Matanzas Reserve is at the upper eastern edge. Black Mangrove historical range (approximate). Caption: If there is a sustained freeze, typically they will die.

After a few relatively mild winters on the northern Gulf coast, cold intolerant black mangroves have started to multiply in salt marshes. Dr. Hughes is conducting an experiment to test whether some mangroves are better adapted to colder climates. Part of the series "In The Grass, On The Reef."
