Preservation of mangrove forests in conditions of intensive development of the Dong Nai river waterworks system

Abstract

The mangrove ecosystems' tolerance to the impact of the natural and anthropogenic environmental factors is defined mostly by a number of tree plants' adjustments, and also by their ability to dominate the process of forming biogenous mangrove coastlines. The article reveals how the climate warming and the sea and fresh water balance change as a result of waterworks system development in the Dong Nai river basin impacts the stability of mangrove forests.
