Two characteristics of the black mangrove tree that makes it important within the swamp are that this species protects other species from storm tides and reduces erosion.

The niche of a species describes the position of a specific species in an ecosystem. This concept comprises:

  • The conditions that species need to thrive.
  • The way the species interacts with others.
  • The effects the environment has on this species and vice versa.

In the case of the black mangrove tree (type of tree found in the mangroves) of tropical areas, there are essential interactions with the environment and other species that make this species to be very important in the mangrove or swamp ecosystem. Here are two important characteristics of this species:

  • It protects species from storm tides: This species is usually located in the outer region of swamps and mangroves and due to its complex system of roots the trees mitigate the negative effects of storm tides that could damage other plants or animals species.
  • It reduces erosion: This species filters sediments and components from the water, which keeps the mud under this ecosystem healthy, and therefore it prevents erosion.
