Water sources in mangroves in four hydrogeomorphic settings in Florida and Mexico

Informally Refereed

Abstract

Mangroves are transitional environments, where fresh water from the terrestrial environments mix with seawater from the marine environment. The relative contributions of these sources vary and play a role in controlling the physical and chemical hydrological characteristics of mangroves and facilitate the exchange of mass, energy, and organisms between mangroves and the surrounding hydrological landscape.
