Called “Mangroves” in GBIF
The Rhizophoraceae is a family of tropical or subtropical flowering plants. It includes around 147 species distributed in 15 genera. Under the family, there are three tribes, Rhizophoreae, Gynotrocheae, and Macarisieae. Even though Rhizophoraceae is known for its mangrove members, only the genera under Rhizophoreae grow in the mangrove habitats and the remaining members live in inland forests.

Introducing the fast-growing mangrove tree Sonneratia caseolaris to degraded coastal wetlands significantly boosts soil carbon storage and enriches the communities of bacteria that fix carbon, including bacteria that also link carbon and sulfur cycles in ways that could amplify long-term carbon sequestration.
