“…According to the IUCN Red List, we only found one mangrove species with Near Threatened (NT) category, C. decandra. Naturally, C. decandra has slow reproduction rate and is vulnerable to extreme environment [22]. C. decandra in TANR inhabits the back zone of mangrove forests.…”

Mangrove is known as a unique and complex ecosystem, located in the intertidal zone vulnerable to anthropogenic pressures. In this study, we analyzed the floristic composition and relationship between species density and soil properties of mangrove forests in Teluk Adang Nature Reserve (TANR), East Kalimantan, Indonesia. Data were collected by establishing 6 transects placed perpendicular to the sea. The results showed that there were 14 species of mangroves in TANR. The current remaining stand has not been disturbed by human intervention. Rhizophora apiculata dominated all growth strata (seedlings, saplings, and trees) with the Important Value Index (IVI) of 98.22%; 127.73%, 144.03%, respectively. Ecologically, the density and distribution of Rhizophora apiculata correlated with soil texture conditions such as silt and clay. The tree density of mangroves in TANR was classified as low with an average of 606.67±147.230 ind ha-1. The average values of diameter, height, and basal area were 18.16±2.119 cm; 12.24±2.667 m; 42.56±2.255 m ha-1 , respectively. The Margalef species richness index and Shannon Wienner diversity index in TANR were in the low-to-moderate category. To improve the condition of the disturbed mangrove forests, it should be immediately restored by considering the result of the analysis of the current composition and structure of mangrove vegetation.

“…Plant Growth Regulator (PGR) of Mangrove Endophytes: Gomathinayagam and Arunprasath 2015 74 used Ceriopsis decandra propagule cuttings of vegetative propagation is minimum expensive, and its success is still limited to mangroves and studied the effect of plant growth regulator (PGR) on rooting, root number leaf formation and fresh, dry weight of roots by applying growth hormone substances. The achievement of this method requires proper hormonal balance, temperature, rainfall, humidity, nature of media, and light, collectively decide the status of regeneration of roots in cuttings 75 .…”

Mangrove plants are used in medicines, and extracts from mangrove species have proven inhibitory activity against human, animal, and plant pathogens. Endophytic fungi are an important component, are universal, and occur within all know plants, including a broad range of hosts in various ecosystems, and therefore play an important role in the natural environment. Numerous species of mangrove produce bioactive compounds that can control microbial growth. Mangrove extracts can also be the likely sources of mosquito larvicides, antifungal, antiviral, anti-cancer, and anti-diabetic complexes. Mangrove endophytic fungi with promising antioxidant activities that may be useful to humans as novel physiological agents. The present review deals with the endophytic fungi from mangrove plants. INTRODUCTION:Mangroves are woody trees or shrubs and salt marsh halophytes. The mangrove plants are distributed in 121 countries. Pichavaram mangrove forest is an important coastal ecosystem of Tamil Nadu. Mangroves are used in traditional medicine for the treatment of many diseases 1 . The specific regions where mangrove plants grow are called the Mangrove ecosystem. Mangroves are fast decreasing in the number of species with increasing freedom 2 . Mangroves include salttolerant plant species that occur along intertidal zones of rivers and seas in the form of narrow strips or as extensive patches in estuarine habitats and river deltas of tropical and sub-tropical regions. The mangrove plants have a great potential to adapt to the changes in climate, rise in sea levels, and to solar ultraviolet -B radiation.
