Mangrove forests and threats facing them (Emphasizing the effects of climate change and the response of mangroves to these changes)

Mangroves are ecosystems that are unique in terms of biodiversity and high production rates with ecological and socioeconomic value. These forests, with atmospheric carbon stabilization, play an important role in controlling global climate change. In this way, destruction of mangroves liberates a significant amount of carbon storage, which can worsen global warming and other effects of climate change. The most important consequences of climate change on the coast and its ecosystems are temperature rise, change in precipitation and sea level rise. Increasing any of these parameters can affect the Mangrove forests and reduce or increase the level of mangrove forests. In this study, by investigating the researches in Iran and the world, first, the distribution of mangrove forests in the world and Iran was shown and after reviewing the threats facing these forests, climate change and the response of Mangrove forests to these changes were examined.
