Vivipary is common in several mangrove species and is generally considered an adaptation to the intertidal saline environment. However, the coexistence of many nonviviparous mangroves makes this view controversial. This study investigated the propagule development of two nonviviparous mangrove species, Sonneratia alba and S. caseolaris , with marked differences in salt tolerance and distribution. Changes in the density, water...

Under the background of global climate change, the evolution of climate in the future is the focus of geoscience. The Nanri Channel is an important passage connecting the Xinghua Bay and the Taiwan Strait, in China, and the study of its provenance and paleoenvironmental alternation is of great significance to the climate evolution in the eastern coast of China. The grain size and X-ray diffraction analyses of sediments from ZK...
