Mangroves Trees
Mangrove trees control the wetland ecosystem. This is because of their ability to survive in both salt and fresh water. In the United States there are three species of mangrove trees; red, black, and white. Red mangrove trees distinctive arching roots. Black mangrove trees grow inland and have root projections called pneumatophores. These root projections supply the tree with air. White mangrove trees grow further inland and have no outstanding root structures.
