Inclusive Understanding of Nypa Fruticans Wurmb as an Invasive Mangrove in West and Central Africa

2024Open accessUniversity of Douala

Abstract

Mangroves have been widely described and known as a group of salt-tolerant pantropical trees or shrubs species thriving in intertidal zones between dry land and open sea. Several remarkable studies have been evolved in mangrove flora ecology and its function, disturbances and modelling dynamics [1], rebuilding mangrove resilience through community efforts [2]. And mitigate fuel wood used by improved smoke house [3], as well as its environmental and socio-economical fallouts. However, little and or inadequate attention has been paid on to check why Nypa fruticans along mangrove of West and central Africa, and the world in General. In this light, the short communication provide additional invasive trait information, which will assist eco-physiologist, botanist, and others to undertake practical mangrove conservation work.
